- If the CVT fluid is very dark or smells burnt, check the operation of the CVT. After repairing the CVT, flush the cooling system.
- If there are fragments of friction material in the CVT fluid (clutches, band brakes, etc.), After repairing the CVT, replace the radiator and flush the radiator tube with a cleaning solution and compressed air. See chapter "Lubrication system and air cooling system".
Liquid condition | Probable Cause | Remedy |
Deposition of sticky films | CVT fluid performance deteriorated due to high temperatures | Replace the CVT fluid and check for any abnormalities in the CVT and the vehicle (electrical wiring of the radiator tube, etc.). |
Milky white or cloudy | Water has entered the liquid | Replace the CVT fluid and check where water may have entered |
Lots of metal powder impurities | Increased wear of rubbing components in CVT | Replace the CVT fluid and check if the variator is working properly |
