Citroen C3 1.4hdi 2013 Gearbox issues

Unread post by Manparisuk »

I have a 2013 Citroen c3 1.4hdi with semi auto gearbox . Its started to intermittently to loose gear and the dreaded flashing auto sign and service light comes on. Turn the car off and on again and it will clear but im guessing this will get more frequent and eventually completely go. I just need some advice on where to go from here with it . Clutch actuator replacement?

My first move would be to replace the gearbox oil, not that expensive and can't do any harm and it may cure it. :)

I changed it last month when did full service as I thought the gear changes were slow as the car was purchased in January and wasnt sure if the slow changes were normal.

In that case I'd suggest a Diagnostic session with a high end tool, preferably Diagbox, and see if there are any fault codes stored for the transmission. :)
