DS3 Gear Selection Error

Hi, I'm having a weird issue with my 2017 Citroen DS3 diesel. I'm getting an error stored in the memory, the gear selection isn't showing on the speedometer, cruise control is dead, and sometimes it just won't start. I'm guessing it's a bad clutch pedal switch, maybe a dodgy cable or plug. Anyone else had this?

Sounds familiar! I had something similar with my DS3. Check the clutch switch, it's a known issue. Does it feel like you're trying to start a car with the handbrake on?

Interesting, the handbrake analogy is spot on. Is there anything else I should be checking before I start tearing things apart?

Honestly, just had the same symptoms. I'd say save yourself the headache and get it checked at a workshop. It's likely that switch. I ended up paying around 100€ for it including labor. Time is money, right?

I'll get it booked in. It ended up costing me 95€ at the shop. Clutch switch was indeed faulty!
