Renault clio petrol 2002 - Clio 2002 auto transmission fault codes DF 016,036 - bibliophile
I have been experiencing loss of power (car acceleration is bad, RPM meter goes to 35 just to change into second gear which was never the case before). Took the car to the dealer and they hooked the gearbox computer to the scanner. The following faults were detected :

DF016: final drive solenoid drive valve circuit
DF036: pressure modulation solenoid valve circuit
DF018: reduction slip
DF109: engine torque multiplexed info.

Based on the faults codes, they suggested that I change the pressure switch and the multifunction switch which will cost a lot.

Will changing these two items guarantee that I will get back the power and that the gearbox will shift as smoothly as it used to before? I don't want to pay the money needed for this and then get another request to change some other items as something else is the problem...
