Sorry for the long post, but hoping someone can shed some light or help:
I've got a 2015 2.2 HSE Luxury (9-speed auto), which threw up a 'gearbox fault' warning on the dash and seemed unwilling/unable to change gear. This was cleared by turning the car off and back on again, and the car drove normally, but I booked it in to an independent 'approved' garage under third party warranty that came with the car to have it looked at.
The garage diagnosed it as a fault with the transmission control module, but this part was on back order so the car was returned and I continued to drive it until 'gearbox fault' appeared again on the dash a couple of weeks later. This time when the ignition was turned off/on, 'parking brake fault' was also displayed and the car would then not come out of Park, leaving me stranded.
I managed to get the car recovered to the same garage and eventually the transmission control module was replaced once this arrived. The faults were cleared and the car appeared to be driving normally again for about a week - until the exact same thing happened again.
The car has now been recovered again to the garage and upon further investigation they now think the whole gearbox needs replacing.
They've managed to source a 9-speed auto box from a newer 2.0 car, but apparently this won't fit the 2.2 engine and they can't currently find a suitable replacement - so I'm going to be left without a car until they can locate one.
So a few questions/things I was hoping someone might be able to help with:
1. Has anyone come across this or a similar-sounding issue before and how was it resolved?
2. Does anyone have experience to know whether the auto gearbox from the 2.0 can be made to fit the 2.2?
3. If you're aware of somewhere that I could source an auto gearbox from a 2.2 car, or know of someone breaking one, I'd be interested to hear about it
Thanks in advance.
