Nope. Think you need to visit the dealer, or a VAG specialist.

Good luck getting it sorted!

I had that early on but only after using the paddles. Didn't like it but haven't it recently.

What I do do is to deliberately move the selector to manual and back to drive to ensure the gearbox knows who is (meant to be) in charge. That seems to help ? If the gearbox thinks its in sport mode it will cling on to 1st gear up to 6,500 revs which is a little bit much for pulling out of the driveway !

In a word, no. If I had, I'd be back to the dealer. Good luck.
