Bipper Automatic Transmission Issue
Summary of the thread
A 2011 Peugeot Bipper with a gasoline engine is experiencing issues with the check engine and transmission indicator lights on, along with gearbox slipping, unclean shifts, and grinding noises. These symptoms, along with stored error codes, suggest a likely problem with the automatic transmission torque converter lock-up clutch. It is advised to have the vehicle inspected at a reputable workshop to prevent further damage, as confirmed by a similar case where the torque converter was found defective.

Engine surge? Yeah, kinda! Especially at lower speeds. What was the damage? Was it definitely the torque converter?

The symptoms and error codes do sound like the torque converter lock-up clutch is defective. Given the grinding and slipping, I'd say it's highly probable. I recommend getting it checked at a reputable workshop. Continuing to drive it like this can cause more damage.

Thanks for the confirmation. Took it to the shop and you were spot on. The automatic transmission converter was indeed defective, costing me 2120€ to repair. Ouch!

I had similar symptoms on my Bipper. Does it feel like an engine surge sometimes, almost like it wants to stall? The error codes pointed towards issues with the auto transmission too.
