Title: Cvt flush ?
Post by: Nogojoe on November 18, 2020, 05:00:00 PM
Hey people hope you're all well. Do I need 2 4ltires of cvt-f fluid for a flush? Then drain once then fill go through the gears and repeat?

My Honda Specialist informs me it’s Honda recommendation to have 2 flushes and a final fill and you will need 2 x 4 litres for that, which is what was carried out on mine when they serviced it.

I also had them add a dose of Xado EX-120 as a 'belt  and braces' approach.

Does that mean put 2 litres in then flush, then another 2 then flush and then the final fill? then put in each gear with brake on for a few minutes and then all good?

My understanding is that it's a full fill, run the car going through the box, then same again and then fill for a final time. This is why you need 8 litres, remember you will not drain out all the fluid each time hence the need for the flushes.

when you say go through the box is it stationary? how many CVT-F flush does the box take?

sorry it was only Saturday we got it. Wifes stressing

I would find an independent Honda specialist, labour should be less than £50 plus the 8 litres of fluid, so about £200.

Sorry but the Honda is not the only car where an automatic version can bring extra unwelcome bills. On some cars of this age the cost could make it beyond economic repair.      If you bought the car from a dealer then maybe your local trading standards department could advise on who is liable for any faults  .

Well if its something bad I'll be going that route belive me, but tbh think they will be ar_e holes. Most small independent car sales are. Well in my opinion.

Have you tried to find an Independent Honda Specialist in your area? Perhaps mention your location as someone on here maybe able to recommend one.

I diy.
I only  add enough CVT fluid to replace first drain. Not had any problems with not flushing - nearly 60k miles now.

Fluid is always clean at 25k intervals so minimum wear.

Flushing is only required if the transmission has gone too long between services and juddering is occurring. You obviously change the fluid at the specified intervals.

Been quoted £100 by them using Honda cvt - f flushed and refilled. Seems to cheap tbh

If they are only doing Hondas they may buy fluid in bulk with the economy of scale. If they are a reputable concern it sounds like a good deal.
I used an independent transmission specialist to repair my manual gearbox.  I had been quoted £900 to £1500. They quoted £342 and 50,000 miles later it is still as sound as ever. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

No I asked enough questions, I'm expecting a call back tbh saying they made  a mistake. We're never that lucky
