Automatic worries

[PPJ82]

To give an update

I took the car to a gearbox specialist and they pulled the codes. It shows P1731 INCORRECT GEAR RATIO (slipping) and P0218 GEARBOX OIL OVER TEMPERATURE.

They called and said i needed a gearbox recon at a cost of £2800 (ouch)

I took it somewhere else for a second opinion/competitive quote. They checked there was no codes still being held and took it on a long test drive. Came back and....no codes.

He then suggested that they do a gearbox oil change as this could throw similar codes and symptoms. They did the oil change and found that it was 0.8 litre down on what it should have. They used the Launch ATF machine.

As for the missing oil, they found a very small leak on the gearbox cooling pipes and suggested they are replaced.

Haven't got to drive it yet but my wife (who picked it up) said it drove like a dream with no harsh gear changes, slipping or clunks.

Please keep your fingers crossed for me

Total bill including diagnostics, oil change and pipe replacement was £455
