Movano Transmission Problems

Hey, I'm having trouble with the automatic transmission on my 2005 Renault Movano diesel. It has about 96961 km on it. The shifting is completely implausible, and the transmission indicator light is always on. It feels like it's stuck in some sort of emergency mode. I've heard about undervoltage, but I'm not sure. Has anyone else had similar transmission problems with their Movano?

Whoa, sounds rough! I had similar transmission problems with my Movano. The shifting went totally bonkers, and that light was always on. I was super frustrated, since I had to replace the hydraulic fluid once.

Thanks! Can you tell me a bit more about what you experienced, and maybe what you did to fix it? Did the emergency mode kick in for you too? Any details would be a lifesaver!

Yup, emergency mode was definitely a thing. Seriously, get it checked at a workshop. Could be the transmission oil, especially if it's worn. It ended up costing me around 240€, but at least it fixed the shifting.

Thank you so much for sharing! It's a relief to know I'm not alone in this Movano transmission nightmare. I'll definitely take your advice and get it to a workshop ASAP for a proper diagnosis and oil replacement. Hopefully, that'll sort things out.
