My son bought two years ago my Saxo Automatic when I got my Picasso.

He has now the following problem:
Normally the car creeps when in "gear", but now not anymore.
The first symptoms where that after starting it reacted only after giving
some gas, it shifted than in, but now no reaction anymore.
Who recogises the symptoms and have a clue to the solution.

Kind regards,
Eduard

If you encounter problems with an automatic gearbox, the first thing
to do is to check the correct level of the ATF (automatic
transmission fluid). You should read the manual first, often it is
necessary to place the car on an even ground and check the level with
the engine running. Too much ATF is as harmful as too little ATF. If
the ATF smells burnt or has a dark colour, this is an indicator for a
worn out gearbox. If your gearbox problem cannot be fixed by a proper
ATF level, then you should see your dealer. It is no bad idea to have
the ATF changed every 30.000 miles, even if the manual does not
demand that.
