OK, I'm a idiot !!!
Don't know if thats because of the cold/flu I've got since this morning, but at least I've got some excuse which is better than nothing.

So, I said they've got that stuff as once I've seen in their garage sucky thing look a like machine so I asked whats that, and for some reason I remembered it as the sucky thing for servicing gearboxes

So I called them 5min ago just not to look like a tw@t ( a bit to late now as I called them after my last post, imbecile) and it wasn't that, they dont have it as they flush them or whatever, couldn't really heat a thing as line was breaking up (I live in SE London where is no reception, amazing stuff) plus they had some serious issue with the system so me being on the line at that time wasn't helping their situation. Instead of drilling their head they asked me to call them on Monday if I've got some questions. I don't like being under the pressure especially I had two other things to ask.

Anyway....I heard something about even Audi not using one, but probably thats why ZF and Mackie guys are the best guys to do it as mentioned before because they do JUST the gearboxes.

Will know more on Monday, but at this moment I trust you guys with your expertise and experience

QUESTION:
How important is to have this sucky thing during the service/oil&filter change???
Is that better than a flush???

I'm trying to gather some more info before calling them on Monday.

BTW, I did seen them working on gearboxes so it's only my memory which is a mess not my eyes as well ...well I wear contacts so my eyes are ****ed, but I wear my lenses all the time

I do apologies for misleading you few posts back
