DS4 Gearbox Issues

My 2011 Citroen DS4 diesel is playing up. 205074 km on the clock. The gear shift indicator is dead. It is nigh on impossible to engage the gears, the shifting is all over the place, and the gearbox slips and shifts something awful. There’s even a horrible grinding noise sometimes! Is this even worth fixing?

Sounds eerily familiar. I had something similar happen with my DS4. Was it also showing an error in the system memory? Is it just me, or are we doomed?

Indeed, there's an error stored, which made me believe the control unit might be defect. Can you clarify if you had any of these symptoms, perhaps relating to the sensors or even the gear selector itself?

Yes, that's exactly it. The gear selection display was without function, and there was an error stored in the memory. Based on my experience, the fault lies with the control unit being defective. Best to get it to a workshop

Right you are. Took it to a trusted workshop; they confirmed the defective control unit. Repair cost me around 1000€. Thanks a bunch for confirming! The car drives as new now!
