C4 Grand picasso transmission ID

Unread post by jcmnz »

Hi, I'm actively looking for a c4 GP to replace our fiat Multipla(!). IS there an easy way to check which transmission they have? I definitely don't want an EGS type (after many skinned knuckles on a C2 sensodrive...). Can one tell from the VIN number? For example: VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff].

I recently drove a 2009 2.0 HDi that I thought would have had the EGS, but it was the conventional auto. I have a 308 with the EAT6 trans, and it's really good IMHO.

I understood that the Mk2 GP didn't get the EAT6 until the 2016 facelift, but there seem to be some around.

Thanks

The above vehicle has a fully automatic AM6 MK III transmission, (EAT6), so a proper Auto gearbox with torque converter and not a robotised manual.

One more trans check please: VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]...can you confirm it's not automated manual? Hoping to purchase it this weekend!
Pretty sure this will be AM6 as it's 2016 year. Thanks, Jason

Full auto :-D

If you can see an interior picture you can check for EGS or full auto by the selector - there is no P position on the EGS one.
