Thank you very much for your thorough video of disassembly and reassembly of the hydraulic block, I was able to fix my autotragic Kangoo gearbox thanks to you, and I couldn't be happier after living with the issue for 3 years.
Thanks for a great video. I have a Peugeot 308 T9 Turbo that was slipping gears and then going into limp mode. I’m not mechanically minded but managed to follow this along mostly. I felt confident that I’d done everything but now it doesn’t engage any gears when shifting. I suspect it must be the engagement of the rod into the pin, although I was very sure I got it. I don’t think I can do that again 😥. Anyway, it was a good video and hope others take more care with the control rod. All the best to anyway who gives a go.
All you have to do is to make sure that the rod which moves the gears is in correct position when reassembling the things. I would say try it one more time.
@@MrNiceGuy94 - Thanks for the encouragement. I pulled the front of the car back off and removed the gearbox cover and found that the rod was engaged with the pin so that wasn't the problem after all. The rod would not move freely as it was securely engaged by the pin above it. The only thing different I could see in your video is the bar that you install toward the end of the process - you have the bar tilted down so that the top touches the cog behind it. I had mine more parallel (a bit hard to explain). I loosened the bolt and then tilted the bar down to the same angle as yours - however I'm not confident that is going to fix anything. I have bolted the cover plate back on, but not put everything back together yet and I'm a bit unsure what to do next. I can put it all back together but I don't think changing the angle of the bar is going to solve the problem of not engaging gears. I would greatly appreciate you have any suggestions or advice that you have. I'm a bit lost now. I have read some articles that talk about needing to update the gearbox ECU software (?) if the solenoids are newer type - if that's the case I'm truly screwed as I have no idea how I would get that done. Solenoids used are www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B082YWKCKD/
Apologies for the length and number of comments. I had another look and I think I over tightened the bolt on the roller spring bar. It was so tense that I could not move it back. I retightened it firmly and it seemed to have some spring without being loose. I did some research that suggests the bolts should be tightened to 7.5 nm (which is not a lot). Do you have any advice on this? Thanks.
this is an amazing excellent video thx a looot please make another one updated teaching again just to see another episode of this kindda content I Have a pressure solenoid fault ill do it soon but i would love to see another and more episodes 2023 version thxx
Hello MrNiceGuy, this is an excellent and pedagogical video. I have learned a lot about the DP0 and its valve body.. I own a DP0 gearbox. The problem it has is the following: when I accelerate the engine to pick up more speed, if I do it smoothly the gearbox works correctly, but if I accelerate harder, for example, to climb a road bridge, the gearbox goes into limp mode (stays in 3rd gear) it also happens when I go up a normal hill, I have to do it at maximum 40 Kmts/h to avoid the limp mode. what do you think is that fault?
Wow,firstly let me thank you for your nice words 😉 However this video is far from excellent,I am preparing another version of this where the things and the steps are explained in depth and it will has a voiceover as well. So to your problem,my guess is that 95% you have the same issue as in this video. I would read the codes first and would be looking for pressure related error in your gearbox ecu. The job itself is fairly easy,just make sure that you follow the steps in the video,especially when you are fitting back the gear selector lever. You will need to buy the solenoids(2x£40 borg warner) 4litres of automatic transmission oil(£25) and a few litres of coolant. (£20) If you do the job yourself you can save anywhere from £400 to £600 in labour. If you have any further questions feel free to ask! 😉
Hello, no you don't have to reprogram the ECU. Only thing you could do is to tell the ECU that you have replaced the oil in the gearbox, that would be the proper procedure, however people don't really do it. Make sure that your gear selector works properly, I mean switch into every gear and check if it does what it is meant to do, meaning D-going forward R-reverse N-neutral. Hope I could help ;)
muy bueno tu video..pero me asalto una duda .¿.ese cuerpo de valvulas lleva algun tipo de valvulitas pequeñas dentro del cuerpo que corra el riesgo de deteriorarse al momento de desarmar y limpiar con ese liquido? ¿y que tipo de liquidido es?gracias por los videos
Hi Mr Niceguy. Tel me did you take ot oil from gearbox before you did cleaning of valve box? In otherwords if I take out a hydroblock should oil take a leak from gearbox?
Ey man my Renault megane is display "check gear box" service quoted a huge price to replace the "ecu gearbox" i guess that's the TCU. I was wondering if you have any suggestions of which steps to take to fix it mysel. Cheers. I've got the Renault clip software for starters to check the diagnosis myself. Really appreciate any info you can give me
So is the Peugeot 2006, 307 2.0ltr transmission an AL4/dpO the same? As the rest, plus it runs perfect warmed up i drove it after purchasing it over a 3-1/2hr drive home it ran great but the next day on a hill wouldnt ingage into drive so i had to reverse into another driveway and go dwn hill haha! As we all do, its only done 154ks and do the gaskets leak on these things or could it be low on trans fluid but i doubt it but i think what im watching now needs to be done to mine MRNICEGUY..ive never owned one before lol.
Hi, great video - thanks for uploading. I have a Renault Scenic II 1.6 VVT with this gearbox. I want to attempt the solenoid repair but would like to know if it possible to do without removing the radiator. It looks as though there will be enough space if I just remove the battery tray and fan. Is this possible?
Hi, and thank you. Yes it should be possible but you will have very limited space. I removed the whole front just to be able to demonstrate it better how and what to do.
Hi, just to let you know I finally did this job successfully in my Scenic without removing the radiator or fan. Only needed to remove the battery tray, ECU and a few of the intake pipes. Access was tight but most fasteners could be reached from underneath the car. Took me about 4 hours. Thank you for your video, it helped me a great deal!
I am glad it worked out for you. It is not a difficult job at all in my opinion, and for sure it can be done without removing the radiator. I only did it that people can see it better, and also had more space working in that area.
Mr Nice thanks for your video it's very usefull, could it be possible to show how to replace the park-neutral sensor for dp0? I would apreciate it too much. Kind regards.
Hi. Thanks for your nice words. 😉 Unfortunately the car wasn't mine so I don't have access to it anymore. I just fixed the solenoids on the gearbox as that was faulty on this particular model.
@MrNiceguy Thank you for the video ! I have similar problem with my Citroen c4 coupe (2005) with Al4 transmission. My car makes a strong “bang” and it drops to the third gear and limp mode lights on dashboard. I have bought a diagnostic tool and watched the transmission oil temperature, I noticed when the oil is warm ( let’s say > 50 degree ) the problem doesn’t happen, when I drive it cold, it does happen on every day in the winter. I already did one partial oil change but it didn’t solve the problem. The problem happens only when the transmission oil is not warm enough. Do you know if changing the solenoid will help ?
@Bibo Bibi Hello, I think it may solve your problem. If you have already changed your gearbox oil I assume you are not afraid of DIY work. So if you follow the steps in the video you can change your solenoids yourself, it is not that difficult at all. The solenoids cost around £50 for two. So you can save the money on labour. And in the end result you will see if it has solved the issue.
@@MrNiceGuy94 Hi thank you again for the reply. I am going to change the solenoid but first I need to know the part number so I can buy them on eBay or so … Do you know how I can know the part. No without opening the box ? The car is still in use so I don’t want to open / mess up with box. I have read somewhere that Citroen part no are 2574.10 & 2574.16 My car is Citroen c4 coupe ( 2005 ) Any tips ?
I think if you have the same gearbox as in this one, the solenoids should be the same as well. I haven't seen different one online for this gearbox. Only from different brands at different pricepoint. I think the OEM is the Borg Warner which is the most expensive. However I don't have any part numbers.
Hi, good evening, thank you for videos and thr knowledge you've been sharing. How can i reach you i need to ask you one or two questions on Renault Grand Modus 2012 automatic gearbox.
Hi took my car to an automatic transmission specialist today, thinking it would be the solenoid valves, they said it’s not a gearbox issue, it’s keeps going into limp mode when it’s cold if I accelerate hard, say going up a hill, the error code and description is a DTCC302D6 robotised gearbox or at can connection torque in for error from the auto gearbox.
Hi. Unfortunately I don't have any other experience with this gearbox than the solenoid replacement. The car in the video wasn't mine. So I just fixed it and have no access to it anymore.
Hi mate. Excellent video. I took apart my Clio gearbox valvebody and cleaned and replaced both solenoids with genuine Renault valves and genuine oil. I have a few questions. How much oil should typically go back into it and is there such a thing as overfilling it as I've seen other videos of people filling until it starts to drip out? I added 4 litres and the gearbox seem to swallow the lot. You added the oil and then went back under and took out some oil using the first plug. Why is this? Also, my gearbox seems to work smoother somewhat, gearstick shifts noticeably smoother. However, when trying to move off in first gear from standstill if I accelerate harsh it lurches forwards, otherwise it's fine. The other gears change much smoother now although do still feel some jerks. Probably age related as it has covered over 150k miles now. Could the jerks be related to not enough oil? Should I clear the fault codes on the ECU? In another comment you mentioned clearing the gearbox oil change. Would that make the gearbox change in anyway or is that just formality? Thanks in advance. Sorry for the essay 😁
Thank you for your kind words! I am glad that you like the video and it helped you. So now, to answer your questions: I can't exactly remember how much oil goes into the gearbox, however I have a video on where I show how much I did put in and also how to level the gearbox fluid. ua-cam.com/video/MVpt7TbH61s/v-deo.html After the repair you need to do the levelling process as well. Also it is worth letting the ECU know that you have changed the oil in the gearbox, although I don't think that anything will happen if you don't do so. Well, your can jerking can be caused by not enough oil in the gearbox but also as you said it can be related to the age of the gearbox as well. I hope it helped. However if you have any further questions, feel free to ask them.
Buenas noches disculpa que error tenia este carrito es que tengo un platina y en frio hace muy bien sus cambios pero despues de agarrar su temperatura normal la caja queda en tercera, pero no tengo ningun codigo de error, lo apago y vuelve a jalar pero si me paro en un semaforo queda en tercera muy buen video
Thanks for this helpful video... My car Cherry Tiggo.. my problem after driving at speeds above 90km sound of bang and red limp light on after switching off and restarting return normally.. is this because solenoid
Hi,thanks for your comment. Well that would be needed to get checked by a mechanic. As there could be multiple reasons for your car going into limp mode.
I use it with the lpg kit, my problem is when the car gets hot, that is, in very heavy and slow flowing traffic, I feel a knock as if someone hit me from behind, at speeds above 40 there is no problem. In addition, sometimes it is as if it took 1-2 seconds on neutral when it is slow; Is it because of the solenoids? Thanks a lot.
It is hard to tell. These gearboxes are fairly problematic. If you can do the job yourself then it would worth trying it, otherwise if you take it to someone to get it done for you it is a fairly expensive job
hi hope you can please help me i have a 2003 citreon xsara 1.6 auto automatic has the AL4 box when selecting a gear from park to drive or reverse there would be a slight nudge ? now a auto specialist garage said that the range switch and the input sensor needs replacing at a cost of £600 and the box would need re calibrating also they said that replacing the range switch and input sensor still might not solve the problem and that i may need a new ecu which due to the age of the car you can not buy new ?? i was advised by a mechanic to change the transmission fluid first so i had just the oil changed seemed much better on initial test drive but once i had driven say 15 miles im now getting a harsh clunk seemingley from the gearbox ? and seems to nudge forward ?? i then spoke to 3d transmissions company and they are saying i need a complete rebuild at the cost of £3000 ?? and that replacing the range switch and input sensor would be a waste of time ?? i dont get any faults come up on dashboard and does not go into limp mode at all only get a clunk going from 2nd to 3rd ?? when oil was changed it was black but no contaminents in ?? i really want to get this repaired as the car is in lovely condition only 33,000 miles on just passed mot no advisories only ever failed on a tyre and ive just had it fully serviced with new timing belt and water pump replaced so can someone please advise me will replacing whats shown in this video resolve the problem ?? i really enjoyed the video very informative thankyou in advance for anyone who can help regards terry
Hello Terry, unfortunately I can not tell you 100% that this shown in a video will fix your problem with the transmission, however if are not afraid of DIY I highly recommend you to try it, as it will cost you £100 max if you do it yourself. Also, your symptoms to sound me that you may need that new gearbox fitted, or at least your one completely disassembled and check for internal damages and faults. This is the best I could advise you at the moment.
@@MrNiceGuy94 Hi thankyou for replying i am going to take to garage that quoted £600 and will see how that goes i will let you know the result ok in the video you show you are replacing the two pressure solenoids is this correct ?? thankyou kind regards terry
Is the AL4/DPO more problematic than gearboxes from the Japanese brands (I think both Honda and Mazda make their own torque converter gearboxes)? I bought a new 207 automatic which developed problems within a month! Sticking in 3rd. Slipping from 1st to 4th on starting from standstill. The dealer didn’t know what to do other a diagnostic check. It was never corrected so I changed the car as soon I could. A shame because it was otherwise a nice car to drive. Very solid, comfortable and with good road holding.
@@vladimirart758 Yes. Four speed. Bought new with delivery of 5 kms recorded, the problem started around at 1000kms. Gear changes always felt shaky from the start.
@@vladimirart758 I don’t know. It may be a lifetime oil? I would have to look up. I sold the car as soon as I could because I was frustrated with this poor quality.
Hola buen día quería consultarte que falla hacia el auto por q tengo un peugeot 307 con la misma caja y el problema q tengo es que en 2da 3ra y 4ta voy a los tirones hasta q lo acelero y ahí deja de tironear ya le cambie aceite Filtro y comvertidor de par y sigue igual
Thanks for the awesome video. I was looking to check the level of my ATF, and got the wrong bolt opened, I think the one you can see go from the top into the transmission right above your hand at 22:36. then when i tried to put it back, i saw that some kind of a plate with a hole to the side blocking it from entry, but i managed to center the hole and screw the bolt back in. now the car doesn't shift into drive, just reverse (on the screen it does, just not in reality.). how to fix this?
Thanks, mate. Do you mean the one with Torx insert? If so, I think you loosened the bolt responsible for the gear lever selector or whatever it is called. In order to fix it you have to remove the metal cover of the transmission valve body and reallign the gear selector lever.
@@MrNiceGuy94 Hey mate, I really appreciate your help. I managed to realign everything thanks to your video and your reply to my comment, and the car is back on the road again. Thank you very much!
My Megane 2 running kicks and goes to limp mode then shows "check gearbox" message + service... scanning using the can clip is not showing errors related to transmission, my converter catalitic was stolen so only have an error related to (DF099)... so, is it could be electrovalves issue?
Sorry,I missed your comment. I think yes,the electrovalves are your problem as most of the time they go bad and it's a very common fault on these gearboxes.
For some reason the oil disappears on these things .. I dumped the liter of oil it had & put 4 litres back in like it says for typical service & 8 for rebuild .. I'm in it for 132 000 ks now & its like new
@Jockes garage Well it may happen but I don't think so. This job is pretty straightforward. Only thing you can mess up is when reconnecting the gear lever actuator or whatever that thing is called. It is responsible for the gears to change. But if you don't connect it properly you won't have any gears at all or the gears will be mixed up totally. If you follow the video, you should be good.
I also have the al4 gearbox and its stuck in 3rd gear (limp mode) on diagnostics I have 1 fault code in gear box. ENGINE TORGUE NO SIGNAL. I clear the code but comes back straight away . Any ideas?
What I would do is to change the 2 solenoids and the transmission fluid and see if it fixes the issue. It is pretty doable,and it would cost around £80 for parts. However at first I would plug it on a scantool and check the live data,especially the grarbox oil pressure. As far as I know it should be around 2.7bar,you should check if there is a huge difference,and monitor it for a while to see if it changes at all,if it makes any sense. It may be the case that your transmission oil filter is clogged,but to replace that you need to remove the whole gearbox I believe. So you don't really want it to be the issue.
I have changed them, I didn't just put back them. But I don't think that it would be a problem if you swap them over, however I am not 100% sure on that one.
How much transmission fluid did you put back in? I recently did this to my Peugeot 307cc and didn’t fix the issue. Comes up with P1167 in the codes? Maybe I didn’t add enough transmission fluid but couldn’t find anywhere how much I was meant to add. Any help would be greatly appreciated
@@MrNiceGuy94 thanks for the short answer , when i was driving in emergency mode i got an error , to check injection more than to check esp , it could be related to the gearbox problem
I think the ESP error can be related. However if you have those symptoms which you described I think that very likely your solenoids in the gearbox needs replacing. And the other errors may be something different.
Hi bro, thanks for your effert. At beginning my gearbox goes into limp mode after 5 min of driving, so i replaced the 2selenoids and oil, and it runs very good for about 4 mouths. And then stucks into limp mode again So i changes the 3.5 dextron 6 oil again, now my gearbox works good exept when i travel on 120km/h After 15 min of hi speed it goes into limp mode although the temperature is good. What do you think the proplem is? Thanks
@Mix Tube Hi and thanks for your comment. I have heard that people after replacing the solenoids and the transmission fluid as well experiencing the same issues as you few months after. The problem is that this gearbox is terrible and probably is going out. I have seen one video on UA-cam where one shop had a similar issue with one of their customer's car. What they did is that they converted the car to manual after spending a lot of money on the gearbox to fix it. At the end they had to do it, because they couldn't find any solution to fix the gearbox. So I am guessing you will need a new gearbox soon. Do you have access to a scan tool? Could you pull the codes? So maybe I can give you insights what you could do in order to fix you problem ;)
The gave you problems after a short time because you were supposed to change all the valves not two. Make sure you buy the original valves from Renault otherwise they will not last if they are pirate parts.
Hi I have just replaced the Solonoids. But now starts and idel fine but when i enter to the geards engine stops. i feel it try to move and stops even before release brake.Can you please advise what is it? where shuld i check
Selenoid valfs, al4 pressure sensor, al4 cooler, sensor seals and hydraulic block settings and oil changed in my car but the problem (Limp mode) is keep going after I drive it 90+ km about 20 30 minutes. There is any fault code in pp2000 :(
I have heard that some people had to change the whole gearbox to get their cars fixed. I know it sounds ridiculous, but these gearboxes are very problematic.
Hello bro, i change soliniod and gear oil, but then after car not start, no gear sign in dashboard and no shifter move, then i call technician for obd2 scan he reset 2 time then works fine but giving a error constantly. DTC075861 .... Sequence solenoid valve 'EVS2 circuit Open circuit..... please help.
That sounds to me like some electrical fault with some kind of sensor. However I don't have much knowledge about these gearboxes as this was the only job I did on these.
Greetings to all, If someone can write an answer, when this is cleaned, what is gained by that procedure? To me, the gearbox changes gears normally, but it is noticeable that it produces some vibration. thanks in advance..
@Logo Tip Hello, usually when your gearbox goes into limp mode and only let you drive in 3rd gear the solution is to change the solenoids, because more likely they are faulty. The AL4 DP0 gearbox is infamously bad, it can have many problems. In your case maybe an oil change would be enough.
@@MrNiceGuy94 Can you please help me. I have a 2010 peugot 207. I get an anti pollutant system faulty error always. The fan goes on and doesn’t stop. I diagnosed it and they told me the vehicle requires a new electrovalve. Can you tell me what is that?
After 10 minutes of driving the car would stay in the 3rd gear and wouldn't shift out of it, also wouldn't let the RPM go over 2000 if I remember correctly.
Hi THANKS FOR THE VIDEO !!!.... (i'm in trouble)..... I own a Citroen C5 auto 2003 ...jammed in PARK . The car is an estate and in brilliant condition and when i learn to do youtube this will be my first video . I bought the car in 2020 and is in great condition ... it had a new battery .the alternator wasn't charging and is still not ! . I taxed and left the car and understand the problem but i cant "cheat" it to get out of park ! . It moves from "P" then "clicks" so i cant get reverse . I hear a buzzing noise by the brake fluid resiviuor (cant spell it).... and i think that little ABS motor needs to be up to pressure before it will allow "R-N-D" etc...... (it's not 13.8 volts) . The release from "P" is just a primary circuit and just makes the small black relay "click" behind the glove box ..... but it's matching relay (they are on the bulkhead from the inside) stays "duff" as feed only arrives to that 2nd relay once the brakes are up to pressure. . (all the white wires to the relay housing go nowhere) . The inhibitor is just a white plastic "rocker" on the drivers side (RHD) by the cigerette lighter ... which i dont mind destroying . Its a great car and i love it ... (its a grey estate) but better when it goes ...lol ! . THANKS
Well,to be honest I am not expert in car electronics. Usually I read or look up something if I need to. So to solve your problem. The absolutely first thing I would do is to pull the codes from the ECU. Then the second question,when did the problems start to arise? Was the car like this when you bought it? And lastly, can't it be your brake pedal switch? I replaced one on this very car earlier in the video,they can be problematic and if I am correct I think they are a quite common fault on these cars. Or if anyone disassembled the valve body on the gearbox they might have not connected the gear selector lever properly and that's why it is not engaging the gears. I hope I could help somewhat. Let me know later, I am very curious what the issue was.
@@MrNiceGuy94 Thanks for replying mate !!! . Its a weird one as the car has no battery indicator or volt meter ??? . Nice... it drove so great for about 2 weeks and the gearbox was (is) perfect . Yeh i've got the brake switch hanging as it's only a "push and twist" job . Ah the inside is like new - never smoked in and new tyres ... except the B####D won't go ... lol . It's a big metalic grey thing and i've even polished where the rain runs off in the door jams and even under the bonnet . Yeh it started with battery failure so i bought a new battery (£75) and a week later realized it wasn't charging . I'd go to the car every few weeks and start it up and reverse it back and fore but after a few weeks it just jammed in "P" . The bit below the gear shift is like a piece of lego but i can't pull the gear handle off to just lift it up so the lever can travel down the gate . . I guess it's got to charge anyway ... so i may i will get the alternator fixed and update you ? . Maybe all doors have to be closed before it will shift ??? . Yeh i want the old car to throw old carpet in so i can transport stuff while keeping it immaculate and to tow small cars with to create an income ! . But right now it's like a dead ox !!! ...... lol . cheers buddy
Hello Steve, I own an old Megane 2 2005 had similar situation, jammed on park, usally I was not using park position to use the car, putting on neutral was easy to move the gear shift to any position, made the scan with can clip... not error, so I checked the gear box lever removing the central console, there is an electro actuator that release the lever, I remove it and was with lot of rust, I cleaned with WD40 apply 12v to energized and the actuator start to move freely I kept applying WD40 rust came out from inside, I reasembled the actuator and now look is working properly not more stuck on Park position, hope this give you some hints for your problem...
@@enca2827 WOW THANKS !!!! . I looked with a torch last night and just managed to see the solenoid/cylinder !!! . I was after the plastic "lego" bit but it's hidden !!! . The idea of just using "N" is obvious but i'm stupid lol . The console of the C5 is very clean and "solid" ... plus i cant get the gear shift off ??? (it pops up in "N") . I'll have to get an electrician with "scan-OBD2" and get the car charging over 12 volts as the alternator is broke . It releases from "P" then goes to "nomans land" on a primary circuit as i hear the "lego" click and a brake motor buzz !!!.... . (so it thinks ...IF THE BRAKES ARE ONLY RELYING ON THE SERVO I WILL MAKE THE CAR STOP AT HOME OR PETROL STATION.... as i thinks theres an acuator switch that powers the lever to "R" "N" "D" . My reasons for this is :- the white wires to the 2 relays have never been connected ! . So ???... in fairness if the alternator is made to charge ..... "Happy Days" ???? ... THANKS FOR REPLYING MATE . (it smells brand new inside - i love it) cheers
Dear MrNiceGuy, I have problem with automatic gear box on my Citroen C5 2002 2.0 Petrol engline.When i put in D to drive its not going.Its the same like in N (nothing happen) when i put in manual switch and put in 1 or 2 gear its all the same.But when i put in 3 gear i can drive.Do you think can be issue valves Solenoid? or something else?
@Vidoje Arsic Hello mate, usually when it stays or let the car run only in 3rd gear that's the limp. The ecu puts the gearbox into it to prevent any internal damage to happen to the gearbox. You may have the solenoids gone wrong, but I can't confirm it 100% sure. You would need to have it checked by someone. Or if you are handy, you can try to replace the solenoids yourself. They cost only around £60 in parts. However I strongly recommend to get it checked anyways by a professional. Hope it helps.
@@MrNiceGuy94 Thank you a lot for your time! Simptoms can be also leaking oil I think...today we gonna drive to the mechanic work place and see on diagnostic tools what is the problem...it's good thing that we can drive the car with 3gear to the mechanic...on the computer board in car there no errors nothing about gearbox problems
Thank you very much for your thorough video of disassembly and reassembly of the hydraulic block, I was able to fix my autotragic Kangoo gearbox thanks to you, and I couldn't be happier after living with the issue for 3 years.
Thanks for a great video. I have a Peugeot 308 T9 Turbo that was slipping gears and then going into limp mode. I’m not mechanically minded but managed to follow this along mostly. I felt confident that I’d done everything but now it doesn’t engage any gears when shifting. I suspect it must be the engagement of the rod into the pin, although I was very sure I got it. I don’t think I can do that again 😥. Anyway, it was a good video and hope others take more care with the control rod. All the best to anyway who gives a go.
All you have to do is to make sure that the rod which moves the gears is in correct position when reassembling the things. I would say try it one more time.
@@MrNiceGuy94 - Thanks for the encouragement. I pulled the front of the car back off and removed the gearbox cover and found that the rod was engaged with the pin so that wasn't the problem after all. The rod would not move freely as it was securely engaged by the pin above it. The only thing different I could see in your video is the bar that you install toward the end of the process - you have the bar tilted down so that the top touches the cog behind it. I had mine more parallel (a bit hard to explain). I loosened the bolt and then tilted the bar down to the same angle as yours - however I'm not confident that is going to fix anything. I have bolted the cover plate back on, but not put everything back together yet and I'm a bit unsure what to do next. I can put it all back together but I don't think changing the angle of the bar is going to solve the problem of not engaging gears. I would greatly appreciate you have any suggestions or advice that you have. I'm a bit lost now.
I have read some articles that talk about needing to update the gearbox ECU software (?) if the solenoids are newer type - if that's the case I'm truly screwed as I have no idea how I would get that done.
Solenoids used are www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B082YWKCKD/
Apologies for the length and number of comments. I had another look and I think I over tightened the bolt on the roller spring bar. It was so tense that I could not move it back. I retightened it firmly and it seemed to have some spring without being loose. I did some research that suggests the bolts should be tightened to 7.5 nm (which is not a lot). Do you have any advice on this? Thanks.

Could you be more specific please what would you like to see in the next episode?
Hello MrNiceGuy, this is an excellent and pedagogical video. I have learned a lot about the DP0 and its valve body.. I own a DP0 gearbox. The problem it has is the following: when I accelerate the engine to pick up more speed, if I do it smoothly the gearbox works correctly, but if I accelerate harder, for example, to climb a road bridge, the gearbox goes into limp mode (stays in 3rd gear) it also happens when I go up a normal hill, I have to do it at maximum 40 Kmts/h to avoid the limp mode. what do you think is that fault?
Wow,firstly let me thank you for your nice words 😉 However this video is far from excellent,I am preparing another version of this where the things and the steps are explained in depth and it will has a voiceover as well.
So to your problem,my guess is that 95% you have the same issue as in this video.
I would read the codes first and would be looking for pressure related error in your gearbox ecu. The job itself is fairly easy,just make sure that you follow the steps in the video,especially when you are fitting back the gear selector lever.
You will need to buy the solenoids(2x£40 borg warner) 4litres of automatic transmission oil(£25) and a few litres of coolant. (£20)
If you do the job yourself you can save anywhere from £400 to £600 in labour.
If you have any further questions feel free to ask! 😉
@@MrNiceGuy94 thanks for answer. if you make that video I will watch it complete from start to finish and I will be very grateful.
@@MrNiceGuy94hi Mr nice i just did the same but i did no change the solenoids the car put its self on limp mode expecially when i accelarate
Hello, thanks for your video.
After changing the solenoids, do you have to reprogram the ECU ?
Hello, no you don't have to reprogram the ECU. Only thing you could do is to tell the ECU that you have replaced the oil in the gearbox, that would be the proper procedure, however people don't really do it.
Make sure that your gear selector works properly, I mean switch into every gear and check if it does what it is meant to do, meaning D-going forward R-reverse N-neutral.
Hope I could help ;)
muy bueno tu video..pero me asalto una duda .¿.ese cuerpo de valvulas lleva algun tipo de valvulitas pequeñas dentro del cuerpo que corra el riesgo de deteriorarse al momento de desarmar y limpiar con ese liquido? ¿y que tipo de liquidido es?gracias por los videos
It's that a supraaa?😮😅
By the way,great video,thanks!✌️
bonjour après avoir changer les électrovanne tu a reprogrammé la boite de vitesse ?
Hi Mr Niceguy. Tel me did you take ot oil from gearbox before you did cleaning of valve box? In otherwords if I take out a hydroblock should oil take a leak from gearbox?
Hi and thanks a lot for video
And what is the position of gear when you open the gear ?
Ey man my Renault megane is display "check gear box" service quoted a huge price to replace the "ecu gearbox" i guess that's the TCU. I was wondering if you have any suggestions of which steps to take to fix it mysel. Cheers. I've got the Renault clip software for starters to check the diagnosis myself. Really appreciate any info you can give me
So is the Peugeot 2006, 307 2.0ltr transmission an AL4/dpO the same? As the rest, plus it runs perfect warmed up i drove it after purchasing it over a 3-1/2hr drive home it ran great but the next day on a hill wouldnt ingage into drive so i had to reverse into another driveway and go dwn hill haha! As we all do, its only done 154ks and do the gaskets leak on these things or could it be low on trans fluid but i doubt it but i think what im watching now needs to be done to mine MRNICEGUY..ive never owned one before lol.
Hi, great video - thanks for uploading. I have a Renault Scenic II 1.6 VVT with this gearbox. I want to attempt the solenoid repair but would like to know if it possible to do without removing the radiator. It looks as though there will be enough space if I just remove the battery tray and fan. Is this possible?
Hi, and thank you.
Yes it should be possible but you will have very limited space.
I removed the whole front just to be able to demonstrate it better how and what to do.
Hi, just to let you know I finally did this job successfully in my Scenic without removing the radiator or fan. Only needed to remove the battery tray, ECU and a few of the intake pipes. Access was tight but most fasteners could be reached from underneath the car. Took me about 4 hours. Thank you for your video, it helped me a great deal!
I am glad it worked out for you. It is not a difficult job at all in my opinion, and for sure it can be done without removing the radiator. I only did it that people can see it better, and also had more space working in that area.
Thanks bro ❤
Mr Nice thanks for your video it's very usefull, could it be possible to show how to replace the park-neutral sensor for dp0? I would apreciate it too much. Kind regards.
Hi. Thanks for your nice words. 😉
Unfortunately the car wasn't mine so I don't have access to it anymore. I just fixed the solenoids on the gearbox as that was faulty on this particular model.
@MrNiceguy
Thank you for the video !
I have similar problem with my Citroen c4 coupe (2005) with Al4 transmission.
My car makes a strong “bang” and it drops to the third gear and limp mode lights on dashboard.
I have bought a diagnostic tool and watched the transmission oil temperature, I noticed when the oil is warm ( let’s say > 50 degree ) the problem doesn’t happen, when I drive it cold, it does happen on every day in the winter.
I already did one partial oil change but it didn’t solve the problem.
The problem happens only when the transmission oil is not warm enough.
Do you know if changing the solenoid will help ?
@Bibo Bibi Hello, I think it may solve your problem. If you have already changed your gearbox oil I assume you are not afraid of DIY work. So if you follow the steps in the video you can change your solenoids yourself, it is not that difficult at all. The solenoids cost around £50 for two. So you can save the money on labour. And in the end result you will see if it has solved the issue.
@@MrNiceGuy94
Hi thank you again for the reply.
I am going to change the solenoid but first I need to know the part number so I can buy them on eBay or so …
Do you know how I can know the part. No without opening the box ?
The car is still in use so I don’t want to open / mess up with box.
I have read somewhere that Citroen part no are 2574.10 & 2574.16
My car is Citroen c4 coupe ( 2005 )
Any tips ?
I think if you have the same gearbox as in this one, the solenoids should be the same as well. I haven't seen different one online for this gearbox. Only from different brands at different pricepoint. I think the OEM is the Borg Warner which is the most expensive. However I don't have any part numbers.
Hi, good evening, thank you for videos and thr knowledge you've been sharing. How can i reach you i need to ask you one or two questions on Renault Grand Modus 2012 automatic gearbox.
The solenoids are 2574.16 for AL4/DP0 right? Thank you very much for the video
Hi took my car to an automatic transmission specialist today, thinking it would be the solenoid valves, they said it’s not a gearbox issue, it’s keeps going into limp mode when it’s cold if I accelerate hard, say going up a hill, the error code and description is a DTCC302D6 robotised gearbox or at can connection torque in for error from the auto gearbox.
Hi. Unfortunately I don't have any other experience with this gearbox than the solenoid replacement. The car in the video wasn't mine. So I just fixed it and have no access to it anymore.
Definitely a solenoid issue. Seen this many times before
Hi mate. Excellent video. I took apart my Clio gearbox valvebody and cleaned and replaced both solenoids with genuine Renault valves and genuine oil.
I have a few questions.
How much oil should typically go back into it and is there such a thing as overfilling it as I've seen other videos of people filling until it starts to drip out?
I added 4 litres and the gearbox seem to swallow the lot.
You added the oil and then went back under and took out some oil using the first plug. Why is this?
Also, my gearbox seems to work smoother somewhat, gearstick shifts noticeably smoother. However, when trying to move off in first gear from standstill if I accelerate harsh it lurches forwards, otherwise it's fine. The other gears change much smoother now although do still feel some jerks. Probably age related as it has covered over 150k miles now. Could the jerks be related to not enough oil?
Should I clear the fault codes on the ECU? In another comment you mentioned clearing the gearbox oil change. Would that make the gearbox change in anyway or is that just formality?
Thanks in advance. Sorry for the essay 😁
Thank you for your kind words! I am glad that you like the video and it helped you.
So now, to answer your questions:
I can't exactly remember how much oil goes into the gearbox, however I have a video on where I show how much I did put in and also how to level the gearbox fluid.
ua-cam.com/video/MVpt7TbH61s/v-deo.html
After the repair you need to do the levelling process as well. Also it is worth letting the ECU know that you have changed the oil in the gearbox, although I don't think that anything will happen if you don't do so.
Well, your can jerking can be caused by not enough oil in the gearbox but also as you said it can be related to the age of the gearbox as well.
I hope it helped. However if you have any further questions, feel free to ask them.
Buenas noches disculpa que error tenia este carrito es que tengo un platina y en frio hace muy bien sus cambios pero despues de agarrar su temperatura normal la caja queda en tercera, pero no tengo ningun codigo de error, lo apago y vuelve a jalar pero si me paro en un semaforo queda en tercera muy buen video
Este es tu problema con los selenoides
Thanks for this helpful video... My car Cherry Tiggo.. my problem after driving at speeds above 90km sound of bang and red limp light on after switching off and restarting return normally.. is this because solenoid
Hi,thanks for your comment. Well that would be needed to get checked by a mechanic. As there could be multiple reasons for your car going into limp mode.
I use it with the lpg kit, my problem is when the car gets hot, that is, in very heavy and slow flowing traffic, I feel a knock as if someone hit me from behind, at speeds above 40 there is no problem. In addition, sometimes it is as if it took 1-2 seconds on neutral when it is slow; Is it because of the solenoids? Thanks a lot.
It is hard to tell. These gearboxes are fairly problematic. If you can do the job yourself then it would worth trying it, otherwise if you take it to someone to get it done for you it is a fairly expensive job
hi hope you can please help me i have a 2003 citreon xsara 1.6 auto automatic has the AL4 box when selecting a gear from park to drive or reverse there would be a slight nudge ? now a auto specialist garage said that the range switch and the input sensor needs replacing at a cost of £600 and the box would need re calibrating also they said that replacing the range switch and input sensor still might not solve the problem and that i may need a new ecu which due to the age of the car you can not buy new ?? i was advised by a mechanic to change the transmission fluid first so i had just the oil changed seemed much better on initial test drive but once i had driven say 15 miles im now getting a harsh clunk seemingley from the gearbox ? and seems to nudge forward ?? i then spoke to 3d transmissions company and they are saying i need a complete rebuild at the cost of £3000 ?? and that replacing the range switch and input sensor would be a waste of time ?? i dont get any faults come up on dashboard and does not go into limp mode at all only get a clunk going from 2nd to 3rd ?? when oil was changed it was black but no contaminents in ?? i really want to get this repaired as the car is in lovely condition only 33,000 miles on just passed mot no advisories only ever failed on a tyre and ive just had it fully serviced with new timing belt and water pump replaced so can someone please advise me will replacing whats shown in this video resolve the problem ?? i really enjoyed the video very informative thankyou in advance for anyone who can help regards terry
Hello Terry, unfortunately I can not tell you 100% that this shown in a video will fix your problem with the transmission, however if are not afraid of DIY I highly recommend you to try it, as it will cost you £100 max if you do it yourself.
Also, your symptoms to sound me that you may need that new gearbox fitted, or at least your one completely disassembled and check for internal damages and faults.
This is the best I could advise you at the moment.
@@MrNiceGuy94 Hi thankyou for replying i am going to take to garage that quoted £600 and will see how that goes i will let you know the result ok in the video you show you are replacing the two pressure solenoids is this correct ?? thankyou kind regards terry
Yeah, let me know the results. Exactly the two solenoids were replaced in the video.
My 207sw goes to limp mode after driving for a while. Changed the gear oil and it made no difference.
What do you reckon I do?
First of all to pull all the fault codes. Without it is hard to tell what problem is from distance.
Is the AL4/DPO more problematic than gearboxes from the Japanese brands (I think both Honda and Mazda make their own torque converter gearboxes)?
I bought a new 207 automatic which developed problems within a month! Sticking in 3rd. Slipping from 1st to 4th on starting from standstill.
The dealer didn’t know what to do other a diagnostic check. It was never corrected so I changed the car as soon I could. A shame because it was otherwise a nice car to drive. Very solid, comfortable and with good road holding.
It was automatic ?
@@vladimirart758 Yes. Four speed. Bought new with delivery of 5 kms recorded, the problem started around at 1000kms.
Gear changes always felt shaky from the start.
@@Ben-jq5oo on how many km do you do service on the gearbox ?
@@vladimirart758 I don’t know. It may be a lifetime oil? I would have to look up.
I sold the car as soon as I could because I was frustrated with this poor quality.
Hola buen día quería consultarte que falla hacia el auto por q tengo un peugeot 307 con la misma caja y el problema q tengo es que en 2da 3ra y 4ta voy a los tirones hasta q lo acelero y ahí deja de tironear ya le cambie aceite Filtro y comvertidor de par y sigue igual
I believe it had a gearbox fault warning after 10mins of driving and the car wouldn't shift out from the 3rd gear.
Thanks for the awesome video.
I was looking to check the level of my ATF, and got the wrong bolt opened, I think the one you can see go from the top into the transmission right above your hand at 22:36. then when i tried to put it back, i saw that some kind of a plate with a hole to the side blocking it from entry, but i managed to center the hole and screw the bolt back in. now the car doesn't shift into drive, just reverse (on the screen it does, just not in reality.).
how to fix this?
Thanks, mate.
Do you mean the one with Torx insert? If so, I think you loosened the bolt responsible for the gear lever selector or whatever it is called. In order to fix it you have to remove the metal cover of the transmission valve body and reallign the gear selector lever.
@@MrNiceGuy94 Yes the one with the torx insert. Could you tell me how to realign it? Is it what you show at 22:31?
@@MrNiceGuy94 Hey mate, I really appreciate your help. I managed to realign everything thanks to your video and your reply to my comment, and the car is back on the road again.
Thank you very much!

All the best with it buddy. 😉✋
My Megane 2 running kicks and goes to limp mode then shows "check gearbox" message + service... scanning using the can clip is not showing errors related to transmission, my converter catalitic was stolen so only have an error related to (DF099)... so, is it could be electrovalves issue?
Sorry,I missed your comment.
I think yes,the electrovalves are your problem as most of the time they go bad and it's a very common fault on these gearboxes.
Nice job.
I have the dtc084146 (auto gearbox internal pressure, incoherence of data)
instead of dtc084140.
Will this way fix it too?
Opinion?
Thanks
Hello, I believe so. If you are handy you can try it to fix it yourself. It is not a difficult job at all.
Alright, thanks.
I will do it
Hello! After i change the torq convertor the car won t go foword, reverse is going but hard, is any electronic adaptantion necessary?
Only you need to cycle the gears. You may have connected one lever back incorrectly.
For some reason the oil disappears on these things .. I dumped the liter of oil it had & put 4 litres back in like it says for typical service & 8 for rebuild .. I'm in it for 132 000 ks now & its like new
the car must be leveled when darining the oil at the end :)
how does he unclip those electrical wires. Im having issue following the video. Is there a clip?
Do you mean the ones on the valve body? You just pull them. I used an L shaped small Allen key.
untunge ra udan pas bongkaran yo lik🤭
Did you chanege selonoid or just cleaning put back on
I have changed them.
nice. If this go wrong do the gearbox never change to gear 4 ?
@Jockes garage Well it may happen but I don't think so. This job is pretty straightforward. Only thing you can mess up is when reconnecting the gear lever actuator or whatever that thing is called. It is responsible for the gears to change. But if you don't connect it properly you won't have any gears at all or the gears will be mixed up totally.
If you follow the video, you should be good.
@@MrNiceGuy94 sounds to you that the gearbox i trash if it dont change change to the last gear
yes it can be.
There was an opportunity to clean the heat exchangers.. the radiator
I also have the al4 gearbox and its stuck in 3rd gear (limp mode) on diagnostics I have 1 fault code in gear box. ENGINE TORGUE NO SIGNAL. I clear the code but comes back straight away . Any ideas?
Hello,can I ask is it in limp mode straightaway when you turn on the car or you can drive for a while and then it goes to limp mode?
@@MrNiceGuy94 limp mode straight away
What I would do is to change the 2 solenoids and the transmission fluid and see if it fixes the issue. It is pretty doable,and it would cost around £80 for parts. However at first I would plug it on a scantool and check the live data,especially the grarbox oil pressure. As far as I know it should be around 2.7bar,you should check if there is a huge difference,and monitor it for a while to see if it changes at all,if it makes any sense.
It may be the case that your transmission oil filter is clogged,but to replace that you need to remove the whole gearbox I believe. So you don't really want it to be the issue.
Yo desmonte tambien las valvulas si pongo en orden distinto ay alguna falla?😅
I have changed them, I didn't just put back them. But I don't think that it would be a problem if you swap them over, however I am not 100% sure on that one.
How much transmission fluid did you put back in?
I recently did this to my Peugeot 307cc and didn’t fix the issue. Comes up with P1167 in the codes?
Maybe I didn’t add enough transmission fluid but couldn’t find anywhere how much I was meant to add.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
I did put 2litres in it if I remember correctly.

Hi my transmission drives fine for a few seconds then limp mode and slips turn key off then on again is fine for few seconds
hi i have a problem with my clio 3 automatic. the gerbox goes into emergency mode after I do a few km and the car warms up, it only goes in 3rd gear
The car in the video had the same exact problem. There is a very high chance that you have it as well.
@@MrNiceGuy94 thanks for the short answer , when i was driving in emergency mode i got an error , to check injection more than to check esp , it could be related to the gearbox problem
I think the ESP error can be related. However if you have those symptoms which you described I think that very likely your solenoids in the gearbox needs replacing. And the other errors may be something different.
Bravo!!!!
Hi bro, thanks for your effert.
At beginning my gearbox goes into limp mode after 5 min of driving, so i replaced the 2selenoids and oil, and it runs very good for about 4 mouths.
And then stucks into limp mode again
So i changes the 3.5 dextron 6 oil again, now my gearbox works good exept when i travel on 120km/h
After 15 min of hi speed it goes into limp mode although the temperature is good.
What do you think the proplem is?
Thanks
@Mix Tube Hi and thanks for your comment. I have heard that people after replacing the solenoids and the transmission fluid as well experiencing the same issues as you few months after.
The problem is that this gearbox is terrible and probably is going out.
I have seen one video on UA-cam where one shop had a similar issue with one of their customer's car. What they did is that they converted the car to manual after spending a lot of money on the gearbox to fix it. At the end they had to do it, because they couldn't find any solution to fix the gearbox. So I am guessing you will need a new gearbox soon.
Do you have access to a scan tool? Could you pull the codes? So maybe I can give you insights what you could do in order to fix you problem ;)
The gave you problems after a short time because you were supposed to change all the valves not two. Make sure you buy the original valves from Renault otherwise they will not last if they are pirate parts.
How to change gearbox oil filter ? Thanks🍻🤛🏼
I think on these gearboxes you don't change it or if so, then you must remove the gearbox from the car and change it that way.
@@MrNiceGuy94 yup, i found that information, i need to remove the whole gearbox, thanks 🍻

New solenoid.

I have heard that some people had to change the whole gearbox to get their cars fixed. I know it sounds ridiculous, but these gearboxes are very problematic.
Cranc sensor has a problem. Change it. (speed sensor)
Hello bro, i change soliniod and gear oil, but then after car not start, no gear sign in dashboard and no shifter move, then i call technician for obd2 scan he reset 2 time then works fine but giving a error constantly. DTC075861 .... Sequence solenoid valve 'EVS2 circuit
Open circuit..... please help.
That sounds to me like some electrical fault with some kind of sensor. However I don't have much knowledge about these gearboxes as this was the only job I did on these.
Greetings to all, If someone can write an answer, when this is cleaned, what is gained by that procedure? To me, the gearbox changes gears normally, but it is noticeable that it produces some vibration. thanks in advance..
@Logo Tip Hello, usually when your gearbox goes into limp mode and only let you drive in 3rd gear the solution is to change the solenoids, because more likely they are faulty.
The AL4 DP0 gearbox is infamously bad, it can have many problems. In your case maybe an oil change would be enough.
@@MrNiceGuy94 Can you please help me. I have a 2010 peugot 207. I get an anti pollutant system faulty error always. The fan goes on and doesn’t stop. I diagnosed it and they told me the vehicle requires a new electrovalve. Can you tell me what is that?

Hi THANKS FOR THE VIDEO !!!.... (i'm in trouble)..... I own a Citroen C5 auto 2003 ...jammed in PARK
.
The car is an estate and in brilliant condition and when i learn to do youtube this will be my first video
.
I bought the car in 2020 and is in great condition ... it had a new battery .the alternator wasn't charging and is still not !
.
I taxed and left the car and understand the problem but i cant "cheat" it to get out of park !
.
It moves from "P" then "clicks" so i cant get reverse
.
I hear a buzzing noise by the brake fluid resiviuor (cant spell it).... and i think that little ABS motor needs to be up to pressure before it will allow "R-N-D" etc...... (it's not 13.8 volts)
.
The release from "P" is just a primary circuit and just makes the small black relay "click" behind the glove box ..... but it's matching relay (they are on the bulkhead from the inside) stays "duff" as feed only arrives to that 2nd relay once the brakes are up to pressure.
.
(all the white wires to the relay housing go nowhere)
.
The inhibitor is just a white plastic "rocker" on the drivers side (RHD) by the cigerette lighter ... which i dont mind destroying
.
Its a great car and i love it ... (its a grey estate) but better when it goes ...lol !
.
THANKS
Well,to be honest I am not expert in car electronics. Usually I read or look up something if I need to.
So to solve your problem. The absolutely first thing I would do is to pull the codes from the ECU. Then the second question,when did the problems start to arise? Was the car like this when you bought it?
And lastly, can't it be your brake pedal switch? I replaced one on this very car earlier in the video,they can be problematic and if I am correct I think they are a quite common fault on these cars.
Or if anyone disassembled the valve body on the gearbox they might have not connected the gear selector lever properly and that's why it is not engaging the gears.
I hope I could help somewhat. Let me know later, I am very curious what the issue was.
@@MrNiceGuy94 Thanks for replying mate !!!

Its a weird one as the car has no battery indicator or volt meter ???

Nice... it drove so great for about 2 weeks and the gearbox was (is) perfect
.
Yeh i've got the brake switch hanging as it's only a "push and twist" job
.
Ah the inside is like new - never smoked in and new tyres ... except the
B####D won't go ... lol
.
It's a big metalic grey thing and i've even polished where the rain runs off in the door jams and even under the bonnet
.
Yeh it started with battery failure so i bought a new battery (£75) and a week later realized it wasn't charging
.
I'd go to the car every few weeks and start it up and reverse it back and fore but after a few weeks it just jammed in "P"
.
The bit below the gear shift is like a piece of lego but i can't pull the gear handle off to just lift it up so the lever can travel down the gate
.
.
I guess it's got to charge anyway ... so i may i will get the alternator fixed and update you ?
.
Maybe all doors have to be closed before it will shift ???
.
Yeh i want the old car to throw old carpet in so i can transport stuff while keeping it immaculate and to tow small cars with to create an income !

But right now it's like a dead ox !!! ...... lol

Hello Steve, I own an old Megane 2 2005 had similar situation, jammed on park, usally I was not using park position to use the car, putting on neutral was easy to move the gear shift to any position, made the scan with can clip... not error, so I checked the gear box lever removing the central console, there is an electro actuator that release the lever, I remove it and was with lot of rust, I cleaned with WD40 apply 12v to energized and the actuator start to move freely I kept applying WD40 rust came out from inside, I reasembled the actuator and now look is working properly not more stuck on Park position, hope this give you some hints for your problem...
@@enca2827 WOW THANKS !!!!

The idea of just using "N" is obvious but i'm stupid lol
.
The console of the C5 is very clean and "solid" ... plus i cant get the gear shift off ??? (it pops up in "N")
.
I'll have to get an electrician with "scan-OBD2" and get the car charging over 12 volts as the alternator is broke
.
It releases from "P" then goes to "nomans land" on a primary circuit as i hear the "lego" click and a brake motor buzz !!!....
.
(so it thinks ...IF THE BRAKES ARE ONLY RELYING ON THE SERVO I WILL MAKE THE CAR STOP AT HOME OR PETROL STATION.... as i thinks theres an acuator switch that powers the lever to "R" "N" "D"

My reasons for this is :- the white wires to the 2 relays have never been connected !

Dear MrNiceGuy,
I have problem with automatic gear box on my Citroen C5 2002 2.0 Petrol engline.When i put in D to drive its not going.Its the same like in N (nothing happen) when i put in manual switch and put in 1 or 2 gear its all the same.But when i put in 3 gear i can drive.Do you think can be issue valves Solenoid? or something else?
@Vidoje Arsic Hello mate, usually when it stays or let the car run only in 3rd gear that's the limp. The ecu puts the gearbox into it to prevent any internal damage to happen to the gearbox.
You may have the solenoids gone wrong, but I can't confirm it 100% sure. You would need to have it checked by someone.
Or if you are handy, you can try to replace the solenoids yourself. They cost only around £60 in parts.
However I strongly recommend to get it checked anyways by a professional.
Hope it helps.

Thanks boss ❤
