Citroen C5 Diesel (2014): Problems with the gearshift, ABS warning light and transmission noises - Possible oil wear in the transfer case?
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2014 Citroen C5 Diesel is experiencing erratic gearshift behavior, an intermittent ABS warning light, and grinding or whining noises from the gearbox. The suspected cause is oil wear in the transfer case. A similar issue was resolved in a Citroen C6 by replacing the worn gearbox oil, costing 210 euros. It is recommended to have the transfer case checked by a professional to confirm the diagnosis and explore other potential causes.

Hey, thanks for the tip! I already have 79319 km on the odometer and the last oil change was done recently. So it looks like your advice fits my situation pretty well. I'll make an appointment at the garage and have it checked. Thank you very much!

No problem, always happy to help! By the way, with the number of kilometers and your last oil change, it definitely makes sense to have the transfer case checked. Maybe it really is just oil wear. Just keep in mind that there could still be other causes and it's always good to have it looked at by a professional. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you find a simple and inexpensive solution like I did. Let us know how it goes. Good luck!

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2012 Citroen C6 diesel, which is a similar model. On the subject of car knowledge, I'm not a professional, but I do have a bit of experience. My garage found that the gearbox oil in the transfer case was worn out. The repairs cost a total of 210 euros, which solved the problem for me. I recommend you do the same and get it checked at a garage. Can you give more details about your car? For example, how many kilometers have you driven? And when was the last time you changed the oil? This information could help to better understand the problem.
