2000 156 Selespeed - what's the matter?
My 2000 156 Selespeed (sp1) has been behaving rather oddly in the last
few days on City mode. - Keeps sticking in first with the Selespeed warning light flashing. This has happened a few times when pulling away from stopped. Usually first time I use it in the day, but it did it with embarrassing consequences at a roundabout the other day and got up to 7'000 revs before it saw sense and changed up. - Warning light flashing for about 3 seconds (same kind of time as problem above). Not sure what happens here as it has had no need to change gear in this period. I do know that I can't tip the gear to something else while this is happening though (in case its a City mode problem and disengaging would help). - Stuck itself in 3rd for my wife the other day. Wouldn't change up, wouldn't change down - same problem as above I guess although she did want to change gear. - Older problem but one we've lived with is that in very cold weather it has a tendency to drop to Neutral (again in City mode) when the revs drop. Tapping the shift usually sorts it out and sets it back to whatever gear it was in before it tripped out. I suspect these are not isolated problems and would be very grateful if anybody has a clue I can take to the garage to spare them replacing everything. Any FYI, I do not know what revision of the firmware I've got - my wife having done all the servicing in the past. So its likely I'm not on 4407. Many thanks Chris |
I'll tell you what the matter is....cracked actuator. Ouch.
