  • Hi,
    I have a 2010 citroen c4 hdi. I am getting the fault code p1394 (Cruise control/Speed Limiter off request from gearbox). The service light shows and no gear selection.
    It happened after I kicked down the accelerator and pushed an emergency brake soon after it.
    What can be the problem and how much does it cost to repair it?

    • Hi Kieran

      Thanks for the enquiry,

      We have seen this type of fault with the clutch & gear actuators before but we’ve seen similar faults from changing the automatic clutch and not re-adapting the clutch touch-point settings via the OBDII port. Either way, we’d be happy to take a look at this for you. I have sent you an email with full information and pricing.

      Kind Regards

  • I have a 2011 Citreon Nemo HDI Automatic It was jumping out of gear. Took it to a Citreon dealer and was told it required new gear shaft cost £3000. Purchased a second hand gearbox and changed it but now cznnot get reverse. Could it be the gear actuator?

    • Hi Ray

      Thanks for the enquiry,

      It could be the actuator at fault, we do see a few of them come in faulty but before removing them for testing, I would suggest checking over the fitment to ensure there were no errors in fitting it all back and also resetting the learned values for the clutch touch-point settings and gear actuator learned valued.

      If the problem persists, we’ll be happy to test the actuators for you and if faulty, we can remanufacture the units and return them to you with a Lifetime warranty for complete peace of mind.

      I have sent you an email with full information and pricing. If you have any questions, please reply to the email and we’ll be happy to assist you.

      Kind Regards
