Couple of days ago I had the dreaded gear indicator display all lit up on the dash. No limp mode and drove fine in D and S but Tiptro wouldn't operate nor would gear changes via the paddles. Parked up that evening and had a shandy or two to drown my sorrows.
Started her up next day and all is well; no nasty illuminations on dash, gears all changing as they should, Tiptro and paddles doing their thing.
Had a scan today (not VCDS) and, amongst fault codes that I'm already aware of/not too concerned about atm, there are two TCM faults logged.
1.1 17095 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor 'A' Cicuit, Range/Performance-Passive/Sporadic.
1.2 18161 Tiptronic Switch - F189 Implausible signal-Passive/Sporadic.
Any ideas out there? (Go gentle with me )

Re: Yet more gearbox issues...
Just a wild guess, but sounds like your transmission fluid temperature sensor and tiptronic switch are playing up.
Doesn't sound too serious.
Clear them and see what comes back.

Hmm...liking your insight there
So you don't reckon the F125 then? That'd be a different code nay?

Yeah, I'd be changing the harness and do an ATF change while I'm at it (since you've got to drop the oil pan). Then the tiptro one is weird. I need to look up where the F189 is. Suspect it's the gearstick position switch.

Re: Yet more gearbox issues...
Yes it is shopp, it's behind the illumination cover . It's a little magnetically operated switch.
Ok, it could be worth giving a clean as it could have picked up some scrap on the magnets
