Called Limp Mode. It a protective state where the trans starts and stays in 3rd gear I believe. Just used to get the car to safety. It happens to my D2 a couple of times a year. A trans service is mandatory on most Audi trans's....dont ignore it!!!!

Ok. Finally had the filter and fluid changed. For a while, the problem seemed solved. The car definitely drives better.. the torque does seem to convert into the drive train... And then, it came back. All the PRND all lit up again yesterday. Once I turned the car off and restart, it reset itself and was fine. But, it must be going into this mode, "limp mode" as gtruncinski called it, for a specific reason. Anyway, will have a Audi service take a look at it... Thinking of Riverside Audi in NJ. Any comments??? Thanks in advance.
