Technical Automatic comfort
The easiest way to think about it is that it's a robotized gearbox
The clutch and gear change are electronically controlled by use of hydraulics
The main point to note is that the hydraulic oil (Petronas CS Speed Tutela @ £30/l) should be changed every 2-3 years and the clutch fluid Dot4 the same.
There are some very good guides by another member in the guides section
If you want Fiat to change the fluids for you, you will be looking at over £1000

!!! For 1-2 hours of work + less than 1 litre of hydraulic oil + less than 0,5 litres of DOT4 fluid?
The book says 4 hours at £125 per hour + tax
Fiat want nearly £50 for the CS Speed + tax
Fiat want £30 for the Dot 4 + tax
Which year and how many miles?
If you want reliability do not get comfortmatic or the twin egr valve engine.

Glad I don’t have to use a workshop with those estimates and prices!

Can the comfortMatic be really sold as an Automatic gearbox as it operates so differently to drive…… & from a legal point of view if sold …..should it actually include the word ComfortMatic so they know it’s not as we know Autos normally!
