In the long run are those cheaper to maintain than true automatic gearboxes?

Last post

Apart from having a clutch that can go on these robot boxes and a DMF on diesels, the problems are the actuators and the implementation of the system.
AFAIK the actuators are all made by Bosch. I have read that even the Honda system uses the same actuators. Honda gave the system 3 yrs, then went back to CVT transmission.

It sounds like someone has previously blanked it off to avoid cleaning or replacing it. By their nature, they will ultimately need cleaning or replacing due to the build up of deposits.

Think it is time to get it replaced before next MOT and before it causes any problems. Any idea of the total cost (part and labour)?

Hello!

I'm looking at a Xantia V6 -99 with the automatic gear box in safe mode/limp mode . It has been for sale for a while. First it was for sale for approx £870 and now £650.

Is it possible at all to drive the car in limp mode? I've read somewhere one can pull the fuse and in that way gear up and down manually. Is that true? Is it enough to...

Last post

No you said its likely to not get all the codes - but in fact a standard OBD-II code reader will not communicate with the gearbox at all or any other ECU in a Xantia as a Xantia is not OBD-II compatible despite using a standard OBD-II connector.

So trying to use anything other than a Lexia or Elit is a complete waste of time on a Xantia.

Sorry...

I know - it does make you start double guessing Richard! That's why I left a list of about 4 codes with the Citroen Service Manager that I was always getting despite clearing them on Diagbox, in order for him to check if they were 'ghosts' - I'll ask Wednesday (when it's in for the window regulator warranty job) if he managed to find out or not.

Yes - I know the C6 had the triangular sliding adjustment at each unit to restrict / allow the flow of fluid - it is this element that was removed.
