Maybe it needs a "Reset" so the ECU's are aware of the service ?!

Is it any way to reset ecu by myself ?

I generally hate edd china, but watch the wheeler dealers with the Porsche boxster and how he fill up the auto box on that

??????????? Where i can watch that on tube ?

Which bit mate?

About how to fill torque converter )))

Take it for a drive until the engine is hot and you have heating that will melt ya face on hot, that way you know the gearbox is up to temp, let the car idle for a couple of minutes, turn it off, get it up in the air then drain it and leave it draining while you go make a brew. By the time you've done that you should have virtually everything out of the gearbox. Then fill it up from there until it start coming out the filler hole. If you haven't got much in start the car for a couple of seconds then try filling it up again you should be able to get it all in that way. You might be having issues filling your torque converter up

Any ideas how to do that ? , sorry for so many questions, but first time I did it without asking anyone , and now have this problem , so please don't become ANGRY)))) Don't want to do that again after ...

It should say in your owners manual what oil the gearbox takes, how much and to what standards the oil needs to meet.

you can fill you gearbox with one pipe , just need to unscruve a level bolt on the right side of gear box , and keep filing until it start coming out , but , before you do that , make shore you drive car about 5 minutes and switch all gears , to make oil temperature to working level .Shiore if its same as E39 530D Auto ...

I just changed engine from same car , but a bit older one , when I put original ecu from older car, my newest one wan't start , but when I put back newest ecu oldest engine starts and drives perfewct , hope you will sort it out ))
