A modern semi-automatic Peugeot / Citroen will come with SensoDrive technology. Sensodrive is basically an electronically controlled manual gearbox. It will come fitted with an electronic clutch actuator, gearbox actuator and a gearbox ECU.
The Peugeot / Citroen range vehicles with SensoDrive technology often suffer transmission faults and most commonly the problems are within the electronic clutch actuator and / or gearbox actuator. Below we’ve listed some of the common failing symptoms we’ve seen these units suffer with.
Common Clutch Actuator / Gearbox Actuator Problems
- Won’t Rev in Reverse
- Gears Won’t Select
- Selecting Wrong Gears
- Going in & out of Auto Mode
- Showing ” – ” Sign Instead of Gears
- Showing Snowflake Sign on Dash
- ECU Logging Clutch Actuator Faults
- ECU Logging Gear Actuator Faults
A new clutch actuator alone will cost you £480 +Labour and may require coding / calibration. A new gearbox actuator alone will cost you £780 +Labour and may require coding / calibration. New replacement parts from dealers will come with a 12-month warranty. Second hand used parts will be a lot cheaper but come with limited warranty (typically 30-90 days) and may require reprogramming.
