DS3 Gear Selection Failure

Hey, I'm having a really weird issue with my 2015 Citroen DS3 gasoline. The gear selection display is totally dead, and I can't engage any gears. The gearbox also slips and makes horrible grinding noises when I try to shift. I scanned it and got an error in the memory. Mileage is at 226129 km. Any ideas? I suspect it's the control unit itself, but want to check if anyone else has experienced this before I take it to a garage.

Summary of the thread

A 2015 Citroen DS3 is experiencing a gear selection failure, with the display not functioning and the gearbox slipping and making grinding noises. The issue is suspected to be related to the control unit, as confirmed by another individual who faced a similar problem. The recommended solution is to take the car to a workshop for a control unit replacement.

Sounds familiar! I had something similar happen with my DS3. Was the shifting also behaving implausibly?

Yeah, exactly! It feels like the automatic transmission is possessed. What was the problem with yours?

Yep, mine was the affected control unit. Bite the bullet and get it to a workshop, they'll need to replace it. It's not a cheap fix, unfortunately.

Thanks! I was afraid of that. Seems like the defective control unit diagnosis is right. Workshop quoted around 1000€ for parts and labor. Will proceed with the repair.
