4wd Light

[cactu5]

Hey there,

I own an R32 GTR and was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem. I bought my car up in Queensland, the 4WD light came on, I freaked out and took it around town trying to find someone who could tell me what was going on. I went to see some guru, who ended up being very helpful, (if you're out there Theo, thanks you helped me get back to Canberra so I owe you). Anyway he explained how there was a place to put transmission fluid in the boot, I replaced the transmission fluid, the light went off and I went on my merry way.

The car went fine until today the light came back on. The car is still running quite well. There are a few things that I am concerned about though.

- There is some kind of leak, it's not much but it's there I don't know if it's transmission fluid or not, seems to be coming from rear diff. Is that a cracked transfer case?

- The container that takes the transmission fluid wont fill up. I've filled up the section that I have access to, but it doesn't seem to get all the way to the bottom where it's needed so there is a bubble, is that important?

- Light is still on, so am I just making it worse?

I don't know shit about four wheel drive systems, so if anyone can explain what I'm dealing with that would be great. Also where in Canberra knows about GTR's?

Cheers.

i have a similar problem, ive had my 4wd and the abs light come on regularly and ended up being fluid (probley attesa fluid) leaking on the rear diff and fouling a speed senser.

it sounds bit like your problem, ill be pulling out my diff soon to get it rebuilt and im planing on fixing the leak on the attesa and bleeding the system which looks like a big job

I went and got it looked at today. The car is definately leaking transmission fluid. It looks like when the clutch got replaced recently, it wasn't done properly, and now the system needs to be flushed because there is a bubble in it. That might explain the light being on, and the gap in the transmission fluid in the boot, it doesn't explain the leak though, I'll know more after Monday.

I hope I don't have to rebuild the diff too.

when the 4wd light is on look at the attessa ecu in the boot and record the error code, someone might know the code.

Hey there great to be able to help. Just ring me on the mobile or at the yard and i can help you with that. I do not think it will be hard and you should be able to do it youself and save some cash.
