Interesting! I haven't checked the oil level specifically. Was it difficult to access, and is there a specific type of oil I should be using if I need to top it up?

Access isn't too bad, but honestly, I'd recommend getting it checked by a workshop. You need the right kind of oil, and if it's low, there might be a leak somewhere. Better safe than sorry!

Thanks a lot for the advice! I took it to a workshop, and you were spot on – the gearbox oil level was indeed low. They topped it up, checked for leaks, and replaced the pressure sensor while they were at it. Cost me about 365€, but the car is running smoothly again. Really appreciate the help!

Hey! I drive a C5 too, and I had similar symptoms a while back. Engine light, weird shifting, the whole deal. Did you check your gearbox oil level? That was the culprit for me.
