Just wondering if anyone has experienced a Drive System Fault on their 8Y S3 ?

was out in the car tonight put it into S to pass a few cars but when I put the foot down this error popped up on the dash with a yellow light in the shape of a car with an exclamation matk in it, Also got a yellow warning triangle and the car seemed to be governed and was shuddering under accelaration.
I pulled over and turned the car off for a few seconds and then back on again and all lights were out and it drove ok again. Car only has 1200 miles on the clock so will be on the phone to my local stealer in the morning
 
Sounds like it went into limp mode, I've had that pop up once but disappeared within a few seconds.

Definitely give them a call - short term don't stress over it - the car is riddled with electrical warnings /issues at the moment.

But get them to try and fix it
