Laguna transmission oil pressure fault

Hello there. I had a similar problem with my Renault Megane. The symptoms you describe sound very familiar. Before we jump to conclusions, can you confirm whether the error code specifically points to the pressure switch or sensor? Also, have you checked the transmission oil level yourself?

Thanks for the reply! The error code does specifically mention the oil pressure sensor. I haven't checked the oil level myself yet, to be honest. I wasn't sure where to start looking for the fill point and how to check the level correctly. Is it something straightforward I could do at home?

Right. If the error code is definitive about the pressure sensor, and you're experiencing shifting issues, it's wise to proceed cautiously. While checking the oil level is a good first step, given the grinding noises, it might be prudent to consult a workshop. Continuing to drive with a potential oil pressure issue could lead to further damage. They can properly diagnose the sensor itself and the overall health of your transmission. It may require specific tools and expertise. Please understand that low oil levels can cause catastrophic damage very quickly. Take it easy.

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it! I took it to a workshop, and you were right, it was a faulty transmission oil pressure sensor and low oil. The repair, including the sensor replacement and oil top-up, came to 365€. Hopefully that's the end of it!
