AL4 / DP0 automatic gearbox pressure regulationAutomatic gearbox
- Engine / equipment
- PSA/Renault AL4 (DP0) four-speed automatic in Peugeot 206, 207, 307, 308, 406 and 407, Citroën C3, C4, C5, Xsara and Xsara Picasso, and DS3
- Period mentioned
- Approx. 2000–2015
- Symptoms
- The “Sport” and “Snow” lights flash together or “Gearbox fault” appears; very harsh shifts before the gearbox goes into limp mode in 3rd (only 3rd and reverse). It often happens when cold or after a few minutes' driving and clears after restarting the engine.
- Possible cause described
- The control unit sees a difference between calculated and actual pressure. The most cited cause is the pressure regulation solenoid (EPDE), though internal leaks or the pressure sensor are also possible. With badly degraded fluid, the fluid wear counter also triggers limp mode. Some owners replace the solenoid without fixing it.
- Check for the garage
- Read the codes with PSA-compatible equipment (Diagbox/Lexia) and log line pressure while driving, especially when cold. Check fluid level and condition and, if changed, use the specified fluid and reset the wear counter. Also check the lever position switch.
- Cost cited in the source
- No verifiable estimate in the sources; the solenoid is a replacement part and, according to a forum, it can be changed without removing the gearbox.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
