hi i have fiat 500 dualogic 2009. i recently having problem when is take ages to change gears or i have to change them manually otherwise is just revs. Sometimes transmission light comes on with the message " check the transmission see handbook" and then is changing gears perfectly. but then i stop on traffic lights and light disappear, then i am back to changing gears but when i change from 1 to 2 or 2 to 3 is slows me down. I just spend 500 quit as didn't pass MOT and i had to change whole break system so really dont have money to spend around 1300 for gearbox. My husband is so fed up and said this is the worst car he ever seen and i need to get rid of it. this was my dream car and i love it, but everytime i am worry what will be wrong next. Please can someone help what is wrong with it? Does not go to neutral as other people having problem with and still changing gears so i have not idea.

thank you

Hi. Sounds like it has not been serviced..

When was the fluid level last checked?

Ideally need to be plugged in and gone through properly.

Oil is cheap..and not a complicated job.

Bit off topic but £500 sounds like a lot just what did you have done could have fluid changed and new discs pads rear brake shoes and drum's fitted for less then that?

The car has not done excessive mileage.

You need a competent garage to topup the fluid in the gearchange reservoir.

Then use the electronic software to purge the fluid.

Then read and clear the Gearbox fault codes
 

Hi and welcome to the forum. :wave::wave::wave:

Sorry it's in such sad circumstances.

Sadly this issue with dualogic 500's is so common we've a thread specifically dedicated to it.

I've copied your posts across.

You'll get some idea of just how common this issue is when I tell you that you're joining it on page 30. I've considered stickying the thread but there's really no need as it rarely moves off the first page now.

Please continue the discussion here.

This thread is now closed.
