Does anyone have any clues as to why my daughters dualogic transmission now only operates in manual mode.
Thanks in anticipation

Alot of auto faults seem to be cured by removing the light clusters cleaning all the bulb contacts on the bulbs and clusters
Also u must clean the multiplug pins as well
If that fails to do the trick
Has the box ever had a fluid / filter change?

what vehicle..??,
I'm guessing a 1.2 petrol 500,
there WILL be a fault code stored , that is the best starting point,

Posted in the Mk2/ 2b section so must be the punto
Ziggy
wasn't aware they got to Australia,
I knew the earlier UNO' etc got to NZ,

Mk2 was speedgear, Mk2b became dualogic. IIRC
Could well be an oil issue, level low, or needs changing. Good place to start.

Ok thanks for the info, sorry it forgot to mention it is 2007 1.4 punto. It has 110,000 ks on the speedo and has been regularly serviced
quite likely the fluid has never been touched, so
1, check level + top-up - often that's enough,
2, get it changed - maybe better to change than put good fluid in a dirty unit
are there no associated error codes..??

I don't know how to check for error codes, how is this done?
Is there some online directions on how to change the fluid and importantly what type of transmission fluid do I use
ps I really appreciate the responses especially in light of the upcoming ashes whitewash

Hi Geoff,
you need to plug an electronic " code-reader" into the special socket near the fuse board,
this will list any fault code numbers, then the box can clear these faults,
hopefully restoring normal service..!!
the fluid is actually hydraulic type fluid that operates the gear-changing system, if the fluid drops below a certain point - this can create such problems,
Ashes Whitewash.. is that like the old army punishment of painting coal..??
sounds torture = almost like watching Cricket..!!
hope that makes sense,
Charlie
I know of people with similar issues with their dualogic Puntos, as theres no real Fiat specialists in Aus and the dealer prices are extortionate, try taking it to one of Australia's Alfa specialists.
good idea, as it's the same system,
feel free to list a few and State / City location,
Charlie
