So I had a bit of an issue with the car yesterday. Well I say bit, I should say huge!
I was driving along the m3 doing about 70ish and all of a sudden I had a warning message saying the gearbox was overheating. At which point the accelerator was giving me nothing. I managed to get onto the hard shoulder and let it cool for 20 mins and even still it wasn't working. I was putting it into d and all it was doing was revving to 4k and rolling back.
So i waited 2 hours by the road for it to be towed to my local dealer who are apparently starting work on it today. But even after those 2 hours it was still giving me nothing. Surely it wasn't a case of just cooling down then? Must need replacing.
Any ideas why this has happened though? I don't drive the car exceptionally hard on a day to day basis and after only having the car one year it's really not acceptable that a one year old car with only 11k milage would do this?
Cheers
