The "PRND" Warning Sign came out on my 407's, and on the screen said Gearbox faulty, After restart my car, the warning sign disapear...

Did any one found what is the problem, on the Car service said that i should change the whole gearbox (4700eur :confused:). The car has 40.000km and it is 4 years old.

Thank you

Thank you for your kind reply

Do you think that changing the oil will resolve the problem?
i already been on peugeot authorized service and they dont have a clue what is wrong, they already change me some sensor but the problem still remains.

Next thing they said is to change the entire gearbox.
I am very suspicious about that diagnose is correct.

Change the oil they said is around 500 eur.

now in the SC will try to change the oil in gearbox (90eur), and we will see if
this will help,
nobody knows what is wrong, the car was 2 weeks on the peugeot platform connected straight to france and they cant give me the diagnose (very disapointed with the france team, they build this thing right?)....
so i am waiting if the oil change will help....

i would like to write to develop dept. in France if they are not ashamed that they dont know what is the problem...but i cant find some contact or mail address.

anybody with some solutions or ideas is very welcome


thnks

407 Gearbox


I own 407 model 2009 and having problems with overheating. Garage has recommended to replace with a German made gearbox. The Japanese Aisin is lowsy and had lots of problems. Peugeot used to install german gearboxes but I think is bottom line again which end user suffers after the warranty is over like me. Looking around still and waiting for reply.
Japan, even they know the problem they will NOT tell Peugeot because outsider. Japanese are good for all these things before buying everything ok but after contract signed ahso nei, asho nei and you cry to the grave.
Would suggest you to check the gearbox ecu as they always give false alarm.
Alternatively, ask Peugeot to replace with German made gearbox.
Connectors also post problems especially after rain where there is vapour or condensation.
Let me know if that helps if not can recommend other things. Paul.
