Raptor_Z Member 43 Member For: 4y 4m 4d Posted 20/12/19 10:56 AM Author Share Posted 20/12/19 10:56 AM Ok so The transmission fault comes on in about 80ks for about 20 mins into the drive, can't change gears or anything it goes into manual mode and can't do anything to the car unless you switch it off and on so basically it goes into “limp mode” now what are the solutions for this issue, anyone fixed it or had that problem in zf6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shop can check the fluid level and condition for peace of mind but if you haven't had your battery checked I would highly recommend it. I had an issue in mine fixed by changing the ignition coils for example (not saying yours are at fault). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor_Z Member 43 Member For: 4y 4m 4d Posted 21/12/19 09:36 PM Author Share Posted 21/12/19 09:36 PM The transmission just recently serviced I will definitely check the battery mate and scan for the fault codes too any good scanning OBDII tool?
