520 tiptronic gearbox fault

[mikel003003]

car wouldnt start this evening due to a flat battery, got it jump started and set off, after a while i noticed it wouldnt change gear in any mode i have reverse and fourth, could the flat battery indicate a wireing fault or prehaps a coincidence, just wondered if anyone has had a simalar fault and ideas of a possible cause, reluctant to spend too much money. thanks in advance.

It could be a few things, it sounds like the box is in limp mode, so it'll only allow you the minimum of gears, one forward, one reverse which will get you where you need to go.

I'd say it's more likely to be an electric or electronic issue than mechanical.
Have you tried it since? Low battery voltages could have forced it into limp mode and it might come back to life once charged a bit.

Yeah it seems to have sorted itself out I recon its reset itself now its fully charged. Thanks.
