C5 auto takes ages to put in gear.

Unread post by C5 Zorb »

Hi,
I’m new here but needed to get some answers.
My other half has got a 2009 C5 2.0 diesel HDI 16v VTR+
and every time we start it up we have to wait between 10 second and 90 seconds with a foot on the brake before we can move the gear stick out of park. I’m thinking/ hoping it’s just a solenoid that’s easily accessible/ easy to change?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Zorb
