Thank you for the advise
I know the history of the car very well , it belonged to my parents .The
gear box problem exists as long as the car.Allways been maintenanced by an
official dealer.The software has been updated.Never heared mentionning
magnetic valves.
Never the less i'am planning to change the gearbox oil and argue with the
dealer about the magnetic valves since it's a known problem and it goes
way
back to the first year of the car .
Hope to get some good news to the group.
