Sorry just saw

"The model is 55-50SN - Serial number 04CV717737"

That is the same 5 speed auto box (AW55-50SN) that I have in my 2001 C70 2.5 LPT engine

Pretty sure that it takes the more expensive ATF.

Well I think I found where the dipstick should be - but just found a yellow 'stopper', with no dipstick on the end!

I recently bought the car from my sister who owned it from new, and always had main dealer services carried out. So nobody has replaced the dipstick with a stopper.

Hopefully I've attached three photos of the situation. Any observations would be much appreciated.

Hi Rapido

No that is not the dipstick.
Did you remove the black plastic intake duct that goes towards the radiator?
About 7 inches long. 5 inches wide and 2 inches deep.

Hi Steve,

No I didn't, although I recognize the intake duct you mention. I assume that the 'stopper' I removed is some sort of breather then? ... that would make the refill process easier.

The hunt for the dipstick continues!

The dipstick is under the intake duct
