Fixing our Vivaro's gearbox oil leak by replacing the driveshaft boot.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2021
- Project Vinnie's gearbox was cover in oily stuff and we found the source. Here's what we did to fix the problem.
We used a genuine GM boot kit and the part number for our van was 93160604.

I have to warn you that I have no formal automotive training, and have just learned by breaking stuff. If you can learn anything from my mistakes then great, but you do so at your own risk! - Авто та транспорт
Thanks for another great video. I am learning a lot from you. I am 81 but will be checking things under our 2014 Renault Trafic LWB van. I never trusted dealer repairs after my first few years of dealer services when I had my first cars in the 1960s. I found several jobs not done or poorly repaired. Have a nice day.
Thanks for your kind comments 😃. You sound awesome 👌, I hope I'm still fiddling with cars when I'm in my 80's.
Cheers Larcs 👍
After your discoveries in the last video, I went out to look at mine. Fortunately not a drop of oil in sight (or cobwebs!).
As long as we get the gist of what you are doing, it doesn't matter if we don't see all the moves, your explanations are that good anyway.
Thanks for your troubles, they help loads for future reference should there ever be a need to get my gut under the van.
Greets again from 🇨🇭, Steve.
Thanks again 👍 great to have your feedback. Great that your gearbox oil is where it is supposed to be👌.
Cheers Larcs
Just bought a vivaro 2900, 1.9 converted to camper, high top, checked belts, cam belt and pump good but needs alt v belt, been watching all your vids there a great help . I also got oil all over gearbox same as yours was and been wondering where it was coming from i need to investigate while got it up on stands , looks like inner drive boot leaking oil in fact think its on the mot advisory so may have to do the same as you, best check there's oil in gearbox, surprised yours didnt break/sieze up with only about a cup full left in it , ill check it tomorrow. I also need to do a service , watched your video on that too so feel a lot more confident about doing it, thanks for taking the time to vid edit and post its a lot of work on top of the jobs themselves keep doing them bud. A big thumbs up..
Thanks 😃. Yeah, I was surprised how little oil came with no symptoms. Good luck with your repairs.
Cheers Larcs👍
Great engineering practice approach to the job instead of reading out from a manual and, IMO, is the way to do it. Keep these great vids up 😊
Thanks very much😁.
Cheers, Larcs 👍
Helpful video, thanks for your sharing your time and efforts 👍
Thanks, no problems 😃.
Cheers Larcs 👍
You are a true master keep up the great videos👍🏻
Thanks again, you're very kind 😃.
Cheers Larcs 👍
Thank you for making the video. Welldone.
Thanks again 😃.
Cheers Larcs 👍
Good job well done
Thank you👍
This is very useful as the garage I use told me the boot only came with the drive shaft. Not seperately.
I think what they meant is the labour charge to fit a new boot and shaft will be less?
🤔
You're probably right 👍. It was quite time consuming replacing it.
A Haynes workshop manual with all the specs is the best especially torquing all those hub end suspension bolts and the track rod end down and I would have most definitely replaced both boots on that driveshaft and packed the hub end with new grease. Cable ties are a most definite no-no for drive shaft boots.

This is why Ford transit is the king of the vans 🔥
I like transits too. They all have their faults though don't they?
Cheers Larcs 👍
Thumbs up, helping the channel grow, yes thank you.
Thanks, much appreciated 👌

@@LarcsWorkshop thank you for your great and amusing video's.
@@frednetherlands887 👍
great video!
Thanks 😃.
Cheers Larcs 👍
good job
Thanks 👍
Hi. Great videos. And very useful information. I watched your speaker fix video the other day. When my door speakers kept going off. Well not anymore 😃. I'm having an issue with my Renault trafic at the moment. Struggles to start when warm. Any ideas? Keep making the vids!!!
Thanks 😃. First thing I'd check would be the fuel filter, maybe then fuel pump issues? Good luck 🤞.
Cheers Larcs 👍
@@LarcsWorkshop thank you!!! Please don't stop doing the video's!
@@owenrobert1333 Will do 👍
Hi Mate, is this Boot called the inner CV boot or is that different? And just to check the bearings are lubricated by the gearbox and don't need Greasing? Cheers!!
Inner CV boot, yes. On my gearbox the left hand inner CV is lubricated by the gearbox oil and the boot also keeps the oil in. The right hand has a standard (greased) CV joint & boot, it does have an extension shaft from the gearbox and a carrier bearing too. Mine is an early set up and newer vans might be different?
Cheers Larcs 👍
did you fit brake hose rubber into its holder, as last view not fitted.ok
Good spot 👍. Yes I put it back in.
Cheers Larcs
I have a question buddy. I have a 2004 Movano that is leaking oil from a driveshaft seal. The main reason for this is that the actual output bearing in the gearbox is worn, allowing the driveshaft to move up and down. Can you change the driveshaft bearings from the outside of the gearbox? (held in by circlips?) or do I have to take gearbox apart?
Sorry, I don't know? Good luck fixing it🤞.
Cheers Larcs 👍
Paul by a Haynes workshop manual if it's possible it will be in there.
It's a gearbox out job.
Well I've stumbled across your great video bc I did an oil change and the gb is covered in oil just like yours. Looks like I'll be tackling this job soon then! Do you know if the 2x strut bolts are eccentric and used to adjust the wheel camber?...just wondering if I need to mark the exact position before moving? Thanks.
Thanks and good luck sorting it out 🤞. IIRC the bolts are not eccentric but don't quote me on that😁.
Cheers Larcs 👍
I cant seem to find the part....only the monavo diff oil seal comes up on a search , donyou have a link ?
I got mine directly from Vauxhall. I'll see if I can find the part number I used🤞.
Cheers Larcs 👍
The part number for mine is 93160604 but looking at website Vauxhall.7zap.com there are 2 other numbers listed for the movano:- 916155 & 93180977. You'll probably have to go to the dealer with your vin to make sure you get the correct one. Good luck 🤞.
Cheers Larcs 👍.
Hello,its Oil for the type fullsynthetik or halfsynthetik? 75-80W or 75-90W?Thanks
I used 75-80w semi-synthetic. That was the recommendation of EuroCarParts.
Hi friend this is 1.9 or 2.0 liter? Manual or automatic?
1.9, 5 speed manual.
Is the drivers side held to the gearbox the same way ??
No, it's a more conventional set up on the drivers side.
Cheers Larcs 👍
So do I need to drain the gearbox oil on the driver side or not
@@tonythorrington3740 Sorry, just seen this question. Answered it on your old one.
Cheers Larcs 👍
Vivaro`s do not like cheap parts, only use OEM PARTS..
👍
1LM???
😳😁
You've lost me young man😃
The undoing torque of the hub nut..
Torque wrench looks roughly a metre long and you appeared to have applied 1”L” of force at that distance……..
😳😉😎
