Bill Thank you, you remember right. W have had the boat for 3,5 years and 1500 h on the engine, probably time to change the transmission oil. Paul SY Kerpa SM#259

Paul, I think I remember that you have the Volvo TMD22 engine. If so, this applies to you... You have to be a very careful talking about the ZF transmissions. The ZF25M transmission that came on the

Oh, and you do not need a pump. There is a convenient drain plug near the lower stbd fwd corner of the box. (Easily accessible on the 54) The most difficult part of the job is not making a

Paul, I’ve just fitted a new one, and the numbers I’ve been given are: 25hours after installation, then every 300hours or 12 monthly after that. ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid), is not 80W. It

Hi Ruedi, You’re right about the no load numbers, and interestingly your ‘load’ pressures are around 5-10kPa lower than mine across the board. Importantly though, we are both significantly below

Hi Gang Very interesting and great thinking scenarios Dean made. Definitively worth to check! Just for curiosity and for completion if someone is interested. I made same RPM test with and without load

Porter, Honestly carrying an extra ton will not make much difference. There is nothing wrong with the boat itself. It has to be the electronically controlled command to the common rail. Or some

Dean, you and Bill have both come to very similar conclusions and I think they are by far the best fit to explain the circumstances. Some “soundthinking” indeed. And very appreciated. The other

Nick. Thanks again. I agree!! This is long block #3 for this 1800hr D3 Bill Rouse and I think the devil is in the other parts. The “short block” timing system or electronics. Yesterday I

I’d get 3 bottles. One for the machine. Two for you! Excuse the errors. Sent from my IPhone Www.fouribis.com

Excellent, thank you very much, just what I was hoping for ... better go find some champagne first, or would that be tempting fate??!!

How often should one change the oil in the ZF Transmission? assume just pump out the old oil and fill new , how much oil is it in the transmission? ATF is that the same as 90w Gear oil? Paul on SY

Thank you. That's what I thought, but I wanted to be sure!

Thank you Dean. This will help. I’ll run it out of gear and see what comparisons I get. I think the devil is in the load algorithm though. And to respect the little bugger we might have to

Porter, Further to my last ... Here’s a scenario... Let’s assume your boost sensor is reading higher than it should (faulty sensor) or the pressure IS higher than it should be (faulty

Thanks Courtney Maybe that’s the way to go!! We’re getting a top lesson in patience, and despite this situation enjoying the hell out of ourselves. Whales galore, beautiful islands, dolphins on
