@Robjon It was a 30A fuse in the engine compartment (number 2) for the automatic gearbox.

Update 2: Turns out it was a blown fuse. I replaced the fuse, cleared the code, and now the car is back to normal. Thanks, everyone.

Update: I clear the fault code with the OBD2 ELM327 and Torque app/Car Scanner Pro app. The fault code then showed pending but the overheated engine on the dashboard still remains.

@Austin 7 @Paws4Thot Thanks. I will try calling the RACV and asking them to clear the code first.

Thank you, Rooted. I have read many useful posts here but have never posted before. Thank you for welcoming me. I did checked my car's VIN number on the Skoda website, and it wasn't involved in any recalls related to the DSG gearbox.

Hi Austin, The car has a DQ200 dry 7-speed gearbox. From what I understand based on what you've said, the error code might not be related to the dashboard message. I can have Skoda clear the code later, as long as I can drive the car. However, the overheating message appears as soon as I start the car, so I can't move it anywhere unless it's towed. Regarding the clutches, do you have any ideas on why they might be overheating, and if this could be related to the new battery?

Two weeks ago, I had a flat battery. I jump-started the car and it drove well until the battery died again overnight. Upon checking, the battery was only at 10.8V, so I assumed one cell was dead. Today, after leaving the car without a battery for about 1.5 weeks, I ordered and replaced the battery. Now, the car won't drive at all. The maxidot display shows "gearbox overheated. Stop!". The engine revs well over 3-4k RPMs. However, even in D and R, the engine can only rev; the maxidot alternately displays the gear number and a spanner icon. The engine oil temp gauge showed 0, and the car (and its engine) is totally cool. I plugged in an ELM327 (I don't have a VCDS or OBD11), and the only error code is P0947 (powertrain). Has anybody else had the same issue?
