Default anyone experienced this?

<center><img src="http://members.rogers.com/isanton/dash1.jpg"></center><p>it happened last week, not too cold as seen on the dash display. All the gears were selected, and it did not go away when I shifted the lever into P, or into the Tip slot. Maybe I have been using the Tiptronic too much?

The next morning it works perfectly fine. I suppose it would work if I restarted the engine right away the nite before as well, but what would be the cause?... (i doubt it is caused by the low washer fluids level tho :P)

Default I found out after I dropped off my friend (a soon to be ownver of B6 Avant!)

... so I parked my car on the side of the road, with flashers on, shifted into "P" with e-brake, then took the pic.

Check the manual, that may be what it displays when it goes into limp mode
