Peugeot 306 Automatic Problems!!!!

[chel]

I own a Peugeot 306 automatic which has a major problem!!!

When driving, the car will jolt and then on the dash board the Sport and Ice lights will flash. Whilst the car is doing this, it will not change gear but still moves forward.
To correct the problem you have to turn off the car and restart it.

The car works fine in placing it manually into second or third but now jolts and keeps flashing and will not change gear!!


-----------------------------------------
The gearbox has been looked at by Professionals and no one can find anything wrong with it....

Anyone else have any suggestions please welcome!!!!!

sounds to me like you may have a fault in the ecu, get one of them guys with the plug things to plug in and see or take it to a garage

Ecu?????

What Plug things?

ECU: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_Control_Unit

One of the garages that has the peugeot diagnostics computer. They can plug into your engine and it tells them what the status of everything is.

Were you able to resolve this problem. My wife's car has very similar symptoms and the dealer service people don't have a clue about what the cause might be.

My 306 is doing exactly the same as well - I've been quoted £1500 fora new gearbox by the dealer - but I'm fairly sure this is not the problem. Can you tell me if you resolved this, and if so, how?

hey mate,

Just a quick heads up, very unlikely the members affected are going to head back, sorry dude.

Did anyone ever come up with a solution to this gearbox problem? I have recently bought a 1999 306 auto estate that does exactly the same as described.

As Dave said in 2007 it's unlikely you'll get an answer here - try heading off to Honest John (http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/ - you need the backroom section) or somewhere like that if you want opinions over the net though you'd probably be better off taking it to a couple of garages for an opinion / quote. If you live anywhere near Wokingham try PTS Developments: (http://www.ptsdevelopments.com/) - or a local peugeot / citroen specialist...

Hello friends, I just registered to give my solution ... I had the same problem, one day the box definitely one began to blink, after searching a lot of information, the solution was as follows: Under the battery there is a bolt with a key in a cubo [], I had to make that key to remove the bolt, pull the pin while the only thing I did was fill the box with automatic 1 / 2 lt. DEXRON oil 3. and ready ... I am very good .. but still flash the lights when demand much in the cold, to fix it must be off and on again .. and the advice I can give is to wait for the Auto reheat before demanding way too so they have no more problems. Hope this helps, any consulate can do it to my email car.barahona @ gmail.com. Greetings from Los Andes, Chile.

Hi.
I also have the same problem in my car and what you need to do is :
change gearbox oil
reset the gear box oil counter in the ecu with pp2000

Thank everyone for their input, but I expect that seven years after the original post, the car is fixed or gone to the great garage in the sky.
