Didn't replace mine, and it doesn't leak. The washers are aluminium, which can be used again, if not over compressed the first time. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Soon to be sold.

I did mine over the weekend and thought I'd share my observations for others in the future.

Did you open the drain plug with the fluid temperature at around 60 C and with the engine running, If not then that 200ml needs to go back and recheck according to the book |

The fluid temperature is only relevant for automatic transmission, not the manual gearbox. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Soon to be sold.

No the oil was cold. I put the specified 1.9 ltr of new oil in with car flat and level. |

I would suggest it does not, I'd rather risk running with it overfilled than underfilled.
