Hi there, Joined in the hope of finding some assistance/pointers to solve this very frustrating problem. Car has done 125 000km with no problems. Recently when the car is cold it kicks out of gear, making a bang which is scary. It shows check your gearbox and sometimes says electronic failure. It is apparently a sudden loss of oil pressure and has to do with the oil filter in the gearbox. I switch the car off and a minute later switch it on again and that usually solves the problem. However it is now cold in the early morning here and on our last trip starting at 4 degrees centigrade air temperature, it did it about 5 times.
In every other model it is simple to change the filter, but in this model it is inside the gearbox and only accessible by removing the gearbox. Renault's advice is change the gearbox at tremendous cost. We live in France and would have hoped for a better answer than that. Has anyone had a similar problem and have you managed to resolve it? Posting with crossed fingers and thank you in advance.
