Sisters 59 plate Grande punto has an intermittant Dualogic fault.
Not had the car long Car goes out of gear and will not drive at all. "check Transmission" comes up on the screen along with the Dualogic Transmission failure light coming on.
Its only happened twice but is a bit inconvenient when it does. both times has been during long journeys. first time was crawling through roadworks, and second time was moving slowly up a queue at traffic lights.
Could it be a coincidence that both times were when going very slowly?
In my mind i suspect she may be riding the clutch when she shouldnt be (i have never driven the car so dont know how it works) but i know our tractors with auto gearboxes etc dont like it when you use the clutch when you shouldnt.
The cure both times has been the aa man to disconnect the battery for ten minutes, but with my sister not being remotely mechanically minded shes a bit hopeless doing it herself.
Al help appreciated!
