Got a Citroen C5 1.6 HDI with the EGS gearbox.
Problem started on a trip with loosing 6th gear, the engine just revs up but no drive. After a couple och hundred kilometers the 5th gear gave up, engine just revs up and no drive. After even more km's the 4th gear is gone and engine revs up on that gear with no drive.
Has anyone had the same problem?
Very noisy on 1th and 2nd gear, scraping sound that with sound similar to when the brake pads are totally worn - metal to metal, and a constant scraping sound on 3rd gear at constant speed.
Could it be the clutch? The DMF? Does not feel that it is the gear´box but who knows...
Any chance this could be diagnosed with Lexia?

Update:
Did some testing to night. If the gear is changed from N to 1 och N to R it makes a "klonk" noise and a bit scraping. It almost sounds like when the clutch is not really pressed on a manual gearbox.

Sounds as if the clutch is worn out and slipping, how many km has it done ?

The dmf is often replaced with the clutch, saves on labour costs but since your clutch is slipping the dmf is probably worn as well so you need to allow for the cost of both. If you do not have it fixed soon then it will get that bad that it will not drive in any gear.
