Default tranny problems ? (not the off topic "tranny")

cars tiptronic won't work. It shifts like a reular automatic even when I move the shifter into the tip gate. On the dash, all of the selections are illuminated, not just a lighted square behind the selected P,R,N,D or whatever. Also, seems like it wants to occasionally stay in only one gear and not downshift. What's going on here? HELP !

Default You're in "limp mode". Do a search... How many miles?

Is it always this way, even after stopping and restarting? Is there a CEL? Do you have a tranny chip?

Should run diags for codes, but this is how it's supposed to react when something's wrong. The fix could be as "simple" as a fluid and filter change to major surgery.

Default But also, the car now stalls when in reverse. Still sound like limp mode?

thanks for the info. No CEL but will have to run for any codes with VagCom I guess. THis sucks!
