Vehicle chassis number: VF7DDNFPDMJ626084 Engine number: 10KNAL0011097 The vehicle has been used for approximately 6,000 km since purchase. Recently, I noticed that gear changes are harsher (jerky) and sometimes the car is reluctant to shift up. Then, the transmission malfunction warning light briefly came on. I suspected the transmission oil level might be low. However, I learned that this transmission doesn't have a dipstick. To check the level, a plug on the transmission must be removed, and oil must be added while the engine is running, filling it to the overflow point. When I went under the vehicle, I noticed that two connections, likely belonging to the ATF oil cooling system, were sealed (photos attached). ATF oil was leaking from these connections. I reported the situation to the seller, but I was only told that the engine is under warranty and that I would have to cover all repair costs related to the transmission myself. Unfortunately, taking this to court is impractical here. Lawyer fees would be higher than the repair costs, and I wouldn't be able to use the vehicle for a long time. Therefore, I plan to import all the necessary parts to reinstall the cooling system. However, I don't know which parts are missing and, more importantly, why this modification is being made. I plan to source the necessary parts from Turkey. Because this vehicle is widespread in Turkey, parts support is strong, suppliers are professional, and Turkish Airlines has direct flights to Luanda. Is there anyone who can tell me which parts I need to rebuild the transmission cooling system? Is there a system diagram that could help me identify the missing parts?
