wondering if any of you have came across this before....
i was driving on the motorway at 60mph with the gear setting in manual as i was using the paddles.
i had been cruising in 6th for about 10 minutes and the next thing i lost power to the accelerator....
the foot brake symbol came on the dash and the gear numbers at the side were all flashing.
i tried pressing the brake to see if it would re activate the throttle but nothing.
so i put the gear stick back into 'D' and it starting working fine.
tried putting it back into manual and was working as if nothing had happened :stupid:
anyone had this happen before or have any ideas to what it might be?

nope that's never happened to me before
back on my 1.6 tiptronic it went into limp home mode and stuck itself in 3rd gear, but only 3rd was flashing. turned it on and off and it was fine.
have you had it scanned?

That sounds like mechatronics. See www.ecutesting.co.uk, as they now repair the mechatronics.
