thank you.Do you have the manuals for this? There is a procedure with a multimeter to set the position switch.
PM me your email and ill send the literature you need.

Solenoids get stuck on due to material in them usually. There are filters inside the valve body that need cleaning as wellooks like i have to open up the valve body again? i can take it out and give it a clean. i hate removing the power sockets in the valve body which is hard and nerve rackingas that plastics culd brake. give it a nother clean and swap solonoids?
I foud good viedos and followd thrugh.I will give it anopther clean. But im now confiesed about the gear isse thant it wont stay on a gear. engine stals and stop.. if i connectrly know to this reason it ll be great. this car has done only 98k and valve body was pretty clean and magnets are all not too bad.cleaned them anyway.didnt see slugeThere are lots of how to videos on AL4/DPO valve body strips. Its not particularly hard, just dont lose any small parts and get the filters and magnet back in the right place.
I wash the parts in petrol or kero first, then clean with brake clean and blow it out with compressed air.
If its full of sludge or even worse particles, this is telling you they left the shitty semi mineral Peugeot fluid in too long and it now has much bigger problems than a sticky solenoid
If the converter is being locked by the sticky control solenoid keeping the locking circuit open, then its like trying to engage gear with the clutch out on a manual.I foud good viedos and followd thrugh.I will give it anopther clean.

Yes.locking converter senario, what is your reccomendation?suld i replace the Electrovalves? what about the rollerblade and quadrant? doi have to check and any seteps for that? I have gear oil and coolent done with this repair.If the converter is being locked by the sticky control solenoid keeping the locking circuit open, then its like trying to engage gear with the clutch out on a manual.
98K is plenty of time for the factory Peugeot fluid to be completly toast, especially if its lived in a hot climate in city traffic... Like Brisbane for example. The fluid cooling system is a bit underdone on these.

Thank you very much.Clean valve body, replace valves.
Ill send you the manual tonight. There is a procedure to set the quadrant.
I agree.I know that one - its the lockup solenoid (one of the two you replaced) stuck on and the converter is locked even in park.
There are no ball check valves in these ones. It’s fairly idiot proof. It’s just good practice to clean these out when you have it out.I agree.
Depending where you get them from, the quality of the electro valves is dubious. I doubt that gunk from the valve body stuffed it up. My bet is it was just bad quality in the first place.
If the gunk in the valve body was that bad that it would instantly gum up a brand new electro valve I think you would have much bigger problems.
Not saying that's not possible...just saying.
While we are on that subject, at the risk of being flamed...I don't recommend cleaning the valve body if you are unfamiliar with it, or unfamiliar with doing that kind of stuff. There are ball check valves that can fall out and bits that just should not be pulled apart if you don't know what you are doing! Sure, give it a squirt around the outside and into the nooks and crannies with brake cleaner but don't try and pull it apart. Again just a bit of friendly advice. Do what you want, I'm not here to stop you.
If the "manual" says to use a special tool to set the quadrant spring (or blade as it's referred to), there are ways of setting it without using a special tool.
I have no doubt that a few people will pop up with "their" way of setting up the selector quadrant without using the special tool. Again, not saying they are wrong. There is more than one way to skin a cat (can I say that these days?).
Thank you. Ill soek it overnight. ill try to soka the old solonoids as well. i also thinking to soak old solonoids soak as well and clean and put it on. thorw away the new onces.or just soak the VB in a bucket of diesel/kero etc and let it drain out overnight.
If the little filter in the VB is so blocked then opening the VB is your only choice, but as long as you have a torque wrench that goes down to 7nm (I dont recall exact but value but low) then cover can be opened and closed on flat surface without any difficulties.
setting the blade with a oversized washer and torque screw on RHS to 9nm before removing o/s washer from centre hole is the simplest method
Lost count on how many time I did this on just 1 $@ AL4
New solenoids can be faulty out of the box if they are not genuine
I'm going to suggest again you just strip it. Its not scary or complicated, just lay out the parts in order and there is only one way it can go back together. Its an easy and pretty quick job and worth doing just for peace of mind.or just soak the VB in a bucket of diesel/kero etc and let it drain out overnight.

This is not very easy to explain..in words, but I'll try. Now this is my interpretation of the AL4 manual. As I said, others have their ways and I don't disagree with them. Mostly they involve marking the position of the roller blade and being very careful to put everything back exactly where it was. Choose wisely which way to go.setting the blade is not quet understood
Great write up again, but I've never tried replacing the VB in neutral always in Park maybe that's when I threw the installation manual to the sideArgh!! The selector arm on the top of the gearbox will need to be clicked back 3 clicks to reach neutral. DO'h!
This is complicated so bear with me here.Great write up again, but I've never tried replacing the VB in neutral always in Park maybe that's when I threw the installation manual to the side
Checking for play is important as you may find you have to wiggle the gearstick to find neutral or reverse
