Peugeot 308 1.6 petrol - Manual gearbox fault - Hazelnut

My father has a 2009 Peugeot 308. It has an intermittent gearbox fault in that it sticks in neutral and the gear lever cannot select gears. Switching the engine off then on again seems to clear it. Warners Peugeot, Tewkesbury could not find any fault when they had it in last week. Any ideas?

Sounds as though the clutch is not disengaging properly.

Thanks Peter. That's possible of course, but I'm sure I read somewhere that 308s have been known to suffer with a gear selection problem and that the gearbox has some form of electronic control. I wondered if that might explain how switching the engine off / on seems to clear the fault?

Sorry I miss read that as 306 don't know what gearbox a 308 has. You can check for gearbox drag by trying to engage reverse, if it crunches the clutch is not fully disengaging, it will also make it difficult to get out of gear.

Dealer or Peugeot specialist either way it needs plugged into Peugeot Planet diagnostics,

Peugeot's own diagnostics system and the gearbox ECU codes read.

Most other diagnostic systems are just not accurate.

So unless you have Peugeot specilist near you or an autobox specialist it's going to be the main dealer.

At this point who knows,

But P,P, doesnt just scan the engine ECU for fult codes it can do a "Global scan" that scans EVERY system on the vehicle.

Then can be used to activate various aspect of the system.

If the "Gearbox warning" is showing then there's a recoded fault in the gearbox ECU.

And it can be pulled out with P,P,

Provided the operator knows what they're doing.

Google "Peuegot Planet Owners Map" to find a map of competent Peugeot Planet equipment owners who will do a diagnostic scan for a fraction of the dealer price.
