Hello,
I picked up a C3 Picasso 2013 auto yesterday. When accelerating from about 2-5th gear it seems a little jumpy. No strange noises, it just seems that the power takes a time to arrive. I am planning on taking it in for a service very shortly - could this be an indication of low gear box oil or indicative of something a little more extreme?
Many thanks.

Hello

A regular service won't include the auto gearbox fluid check.

You need to drain it down and refill with the correct amount of the right oil.
