No mention of Citroen/Peugeout/PSA for the Valvoline ATF, in fact it is DEXRON 2,3 compatible and this is a good indicator that its not suitable for the C3

Remote fault - 25 refers to a fault not stored on the gearbox ECU, but on an different one. Its engine speed, so read the engine ECU for codes to get more information on fault 25. Its won't be called 25 in the engine ECU, but the description will be similar.
Temporary fault, engine speed signal, no signal is a clear description of the error.
Fault 02, Temporary fault, slipping clutch/brakes indicates the internal components of the automatic gearbox are not working correctly. The automatic gears are controlled by clutches and brakes. If these don't work correctly your gear selection and drive won't be right. If you have the wrong oil in there you could get this error.
Temporary faults can be deleted. After you read the engine ECU and save the screen shot, delete the codes and take it for a drive.
