Hello Guys,

Where exactly is the ATF located in the X-Type? Is the near the dipstick with the red cap? Anyone has a picture of what it looks like?

Many thanks,
Yaseen

 

I have got this. The person had halfords said to put in the filler with the engine oil cap.. Is this right?

 

The ATF is inside the transmission, lol. If you're looking for a "dipstick" or a place to add/fill, there is not one as such. The JATCO transmissions in X type are "sealed for life" (peed myself a little bit on that once again).There is an original fill pipe (factory fill) just to the left (when facing car with hood up) of the battery box on top of transmission with a rubber "bung" capping the pipe.

If you're contemplating a change (as I will be doing next weekend), do a thorough forum search on various procedures/ideas/correct fluid types(s).

 

I am not sure what kind of problem you are experiencing but I don't have any confidence in additives as a cure. If you are trying to stop a leak it would be better to let us know where it is leaking and we can advise you on the the best course of repair.
If performance is a problem you might want to give us a little more detail. In the end it is your vehicle and your decision but if it were mine I wouldn't consider using any additive.

That is one unusual noise. I see you sitting idling. How does the car drive? Any problems shifting?
It really doesn't sound like a transmission noise. ave you tried removing the serpentine belt and running the engine to see if one of the accessories is causing the noise?

 

How easy is it removing the serpentine belt?
Is this the belt?

 

When pressing accelerate it goes away. But the charge indicator come on and steering wheel gone stiff.

 

The photo you have is for the water pump drive at the rear of the engine. The serpentine belt is on the other end of the engine. Your last comment gave me a pretty good clue. It sounds like the serpentine belt tensioner is failing. That would account for a chirp, poor alternator and power steering pump performance.
To change the serpentine belt you will need to remove the right side wheel and then remove the inside arch liner. Once that is done you will see the serpentine belt.

Do NOT put stop leak in the JATCO box. It will clog the solenoids!

 

You'll be sorry if you put that product in your transmission. You're getting false advice to put in engine sump.
