Default 2001 Allroad ESP / Self-Leveling

I have been having problems with the Self-Leveling light in the tachometer region coming on when I'm driving. The manual states this may happen when their is a problem with the ESP. When this happens I stop and restart the vehicle and it then stops, but a week later the same may happen. Also I have the APR chip and it seems whe I'm going around 80 MPH and I give it throttle the car winds out from 4000 rpm to 5500 rpm, like the transmission is slipping. I'm new so any suggestions would help!

Default ECU chips with the Tip transmission...

...run the risk of damaging it. I suppose it could be slipping because of this. Don't know about the ESP, though.

Default Similiar, maybe exact same problem I have yesterday...

That's funny, I have a similiar problem happen yesterday, haven't got a chance to look up manual to see that's the Self-Leveling light in the tach, but it's the orange one right next the green hedalight on symbol. It came on briefly ( just enough for me to see it and then it's off ), then the level indicator ( currently on level 1 ) starts blinking for like 10 to 15 seconds. The car drove fine and the leveling still works. Didn't think much of it till I read your post. Anybody have any ideas, I was driving the straight stretch of N-101 by Candelstick point when this happen last night, going between 55-60mph. Mine's also a tip. No chip.

The level is fine when this happens so I'm not concerned about that, but this is the second event that has occured even after taking it in once to the dealer. I have an appointment set up next week so I will update the situation.

Default I had the same problem which the dealer fixed today

he replaced the electronic valve which showed up as a fault code. Cost was $975 with labor but the extended warrantee covered it all.
