filling diffs

[PabloO]

Having just bought a gallon of hypo to do the diffs,could anybody suggest an easy way of getting it in the diffs ????

The easiest way is to buy one of the liter bottles that come with a long tube in the lid, then you just squeeze it in, and refill it fro mthe big tub.

Or 2m long tubing, held about top of bonnet level with funnel in end, other in diff filler hole, pour oil in funnel until diff is filled to correct level

Pablo0,

You don't say what sort of Surf you've got but this shows the basic principle and the pump.

Go and get one of those Hoselock spray pumps that you use in the garden to spray pesticides. Take off the nozzel, fill the tank with the gear oil, pump up the pressure and crawl under the car, put the pipe in the hole and release the trigger. 3 Litre ones cost about 15 quid and mine was the best investment I think I ever made for filling the diffs.

Cheers
