[A4] transmission electronics gone funky (bad)

[Jonathan]

Hi All,

Resolved!

Got a Vag Com onto it. It wasn't in limp mode at all. Limp mode is where it 
goes into gear 3 and stays there. All the gears showing up as selector is 
probably a sign of a fault code in transmition.

So here is what I got:

VAG-COM Version: Release  311.2-N

Control Module Part Number: 8D0 927 156 A  
  Component and/or Version: AG5 01V  2.6l2V RDW D58
           Software Coding: 
            Work Shop Code: 
2 Faults Found:
00293 - Multi-function Switch (F125)
        27-10 - Implausible Signal - Intermittent
00526 - Shareware Version. To Decode all DTCs
        27-00 - Please Register/Activate


A bit of googling turned up that I probably have some gunk in some magical 
plug in the bowels of the car
For those interested:

ON that note, anyone know if you have to delve so deep into the car on a 96 
A4?

cheers
