Hey folks
Picked my facelift S3 up on Monday. Yesterday I turned the car on and got a warning message, something like "Gearbox malfunction. You may continue driving in D until engine off.". The car would move but hardly go anywhere, almost like it was in neutral and just rolling. Restarted and got the same thing again. Restarted for the second time and there was no warning.
Car was back driving again as normal but called roadside assistance, who sent an AA van to do a diagnostic. A code was flagged under P170100 - something like transmission control unit. They told me to take it over to the dealer this morning and they'd sort a hire car in the meantime.
Just wondering if anyone has had a similar issue at all? I had a PFL before this one so I know the car is driving as normal, but obviously, needs checked and sorted.
Hope I don't have my lovely 66 plate Astra for much longer!
Cheers
