Distributeur hydraulique
  • Fit the valve body, centring it using the screws (4) and (5).
  • Refit the other screws.
  • Tighten the valve body mounting screws in sequence to torque (0.75 daN.m).

DETENT PLATE ADJUSTMENT

Distributeur hydraulique
  • Hold the multifunction switch lever in the extreme position (forced first) using a cable tie and a screw in the mechanism housing.

  • Position the detent plate bracket mounting screw (12) without tightening it.
  • Fit the tool (Bvi. 1462) in place of the screw (8).
  • Screw the tool fully in while holding the detent plate.
  • Tighten the detent plate bracket mounting screw (12) to torque (0.9 daN.m).
  • Remove the tool (Bvi. 1462).
  • Refit the detent plate mounting screw (8).
  • Tighten the detent plate mounting screw to torque (0.8 daN.m).
  • If the valve body has been replaced, reset the adaptive values using command RZ00:5 "Clearing adaptive values", and reset the gearbox ECU oil ageing counter using the diagnostic tool by running command CF074: "Write gearbox oil change date".

    After running command RZ005, it is important to carry out a road test performing several upshifts and downshifts to store the new values.

  • Tighten to the following torques:
  • the cover mounting screws (1 daN.m),
  • the accumulator (4 daN.m),
  • the reinforcement plate mounting screws (2.1 daN.m).
  • Refit in the reverse order of removal.
WARNING

Connect the battery; carry out the necessary relearn procedures (Chapter Battery).

  • Torque the battery cover (0.4 daN.m).
