Error code P1607 is a common problem with the Vauxhall Easytronic transmission system. This error refers to a position control error of the clutch actuator and can cause various symptoms that affect the driving experience and starting the car.

In which cars does error code P1607 occur?

The Easytronic system was widely used in the period 1998 to 2014 in Vauxhall models with a semi-automatic gearbox, such as:

Cars equipped with the Easytronic F13 MTA and F17 MTA transmission systems may encounter error code P1607, in which the clutch actuator and the TCU (Transmission Control Unit) may be defective. The Easytronic system is a so-called robotized manual gearbox.

Symptoms of error code P1607

If the error code P1607 occurs in an Vauxhall, you may experience the following symptoms:

  • Starting problems: The car does not start
  • "F" on the display: Instead of the normal gear, the letter "F" is displayed on the dashboard, which indicates a fault in the transmission
  • Shifting does not work properly: It is not possible to shift between gears, or the car shifts unexpectedly into neutral
  • Clutch does not respond: The car may not respond to pressing the clutch pedal

Tip: If the battery in an Vauxhall Meriva A model is defective, replacing the battery can solve the problem without further intervention.

Additional tip: Always check the CAN wiring in an Vauxhall Corsa C when this error code occurs, as a poor connection can cause a similar fault.
