Tonight I got a gearbox error message. I was driving normally and when I stopped at a traffic light I got an error message that I don't remember exactly but it was something like "possible reduction in acceleration. Drive slowly and have the problem checked". I continue for about 200-300m and I switched the car off. During this distance the revs were quite high. I then switched on the car again and the error message went away. I looked at the "check error messages" menu but nothing was registered there. After that I drove for another 40km without any problems. Has anyone seen this message before? Do I have to worry?

Seems like a faulty message, but I am by no means an expert. I would take it to the dealer.

I visited my SA today to check the problem. The diagnostic computer found the registered problem but was not applicable. The suggestion was to check gearbox oil level or to change gearbox oil. During the check we got battery low error and my SA believes that maybe is weak battery problem! I hope is a simple as this :)
