Alfa 156 V6 gearbox problem
Hi There!
Been scouring the web in the hope for a solution. I have just purchased a 2001 2.5L V6 Q system (automatic) alfa 156. Am having an issue. The car seems to stay in "safe mode" when driving - that is, only 1 gear in auto and only 2 gears in 'manual' mode. I've brought the car to a couple of places. One said they couldn't find any faults logged on the system. the other said they found a code 0500 - to do with the vehicle speed sensor. unfortunately he isn't sure what this sensor is (nor is our local dealer!). they think it may be to do with the ABS system? Why this would affect the gearbox (or put the car in safe mode is beyond me). I'm at a loss as to what the problem is. Sometimes (though now less often) it works ok and i am able to drive 'normally'. but most times it doesn't. The numerous threads i have read suggest cabling issues, or a sensor issue. we have cleaned all the connectors, changed the ecu and the fault remains. Does anybody have any other ideas? Thanks! -F. |
