Hi! I have now changed the both bw valves in my 307 1.6 - 06 because the box gave me fault code 06
sometimes. Took out the valve body and changed these to fellows and at the same time cleaned it all up.
Changed the oil and reset oil wear and reset the adaption values. I read out before the change that the
oilpressure was too high on idle, around 5/6bar and could not get higher than 11.3bar att full load. After
change of valves the low pressure comes down too 4 bars now but i still goes into limp mode everytime i
drive away. Took it to a dealer to make a software upgrade for gearbox but it didn't help. Has anyone had this
problem or heard about it? The fault is now permanent but it started to be just once a day to be more and
more freqvent. The oil i gearbox was very good and no metal or so in it. Any suggests?

Is there a filter in the box and if so did you change it? I would have refilled with new oil.

As I said i my first post, the oil is new. The filter in this gearbox can't be changed without dismantling the box
because its mounted direct on the oilpump. If filter are clogged i would have a to low pressure all the time?

Now its too high on low rpm and doesn't go over 11.3bar on higher rpm/load.

You said "the oil is very good" hence the reason I asked, not new.

anyway.

Best if all info is included when first reporting defect. I still reckon the filter needs looking at.

Why do you think that a bad oilfilter can make the oilpressure to high in idle?

If it were me doing the diagnosis I would be checking the things that has to be in good nick for any piece of
equipment to operate properly. Clean oil, clean filter. etc. Then if all ok I would then start thinking about other

things that could cause the problem. Not being a auto gearbox specialist I cannot explain what could cause
that if indeed it has high pressure. I am sure the box has a control to prevent that happening.

If it had been easy to check the filter it would be the first thing look at, but in these AL4 you have to take the
box out of the car and take all apart. I have checked with several gearbox specialists but nibe of them had a
similar problem so i took a chance here if someone on this forum had any experience of the problem, my
problem is that i live in sweden and The car is located in cyprus at our holiday place, and The knowledge in
peugeot AL4 down there is bad, they just change gearbox when its bad. But i as a mechanic want to repair
things when its possible.

I am experiencing the same thing with my transmission I have replaced both solenoids on my 406 original
issue was it wouldn't change into Top Gear But all other functions of transmission worked well but after
replacing solenoids I now have 11.5 bar of pressure at idle and when I attempt to drive it I accelerate and
when it goes to change into next gear hard bang and then goes into lump mode. I don't know why it is worse
now

Unfortunately the original thread owner has not continued his thread. Best if you first enter your defect in the
correct forum(406) and second start your own thread so as not to complicate things for us trying to help. A
lot of members being busy just scan entries and sometimes miss some of the info and then suggest incorrect
fixes!

Adjust the main oil pressure，
10/12 turns
Make the solenoid valve active for about 85%

Can you specify which one, and the turns left or right? And you did 12 turns from standard setup?
Kindly check the attached picture did you mean this plug flagged in red ?
