A quick question... how do you park with the comformatic gearbox?
I know it is essentialy a manual gearbox, so there is no "Park" function a la a true automatic gearbox.
I've read the specific comformatic gearbox manual http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwifxfyaoMvRAhWnJMAKHd7QD8kQFggnMAA&url=http://aftersales.fiat.com/eLumData/EN/77/250_DUCATO/77_250_DUCATO_603.95.838_EN_01_10.11_SC_CM/77_250_DUCATO_603.95.838_EN_01_10.11_SC_CM.pdf&usg=AFQjCNH4hnjBMDJspeICgqCJTB50ZVejjw&sig2=rxSvraubRVhaLhbK07PG6Q
and it says
The bit that doesn't seem to happen with me is the "wait until the gear engaged disappears
from the reconfigurable multifunction display before releasing the brake pedal."
does anyone else's gear display disappear when a parking the van in the method described above?
If I stop the van, place it in 1st with foot pressed on the brake pedal, the gear selection doesn't seem to ever disappear, no matter how hard or long I press the brake pedal - so I just have to turn the engine off.
