Hello, 

So driving to work this morning, about 20 miles into my journey the engine appeared to disengage. It started to lose drive as I trundled up a slope on the M5 with my hazards on, revs went up due to my foot poised on the accelerator so I glided to a stop on the hard shoulder, leaving the engine running and in neutral. The five gear position symbols (P,R,N,D,S) on the dash were flashing but no "limp" mode or other warnings. Putting it back into D for drive, the car moved but wouldn't come out of first gear so I carried on trundling to the emergency phone, stopped there and switched off the engine. I waited 5 minutes, switched it on again and all seemed fine. I decided not to risk being stranded at work at the end of day and drove it home. It's in a garage ATM but wondered if there were any thoughts from the group? I have been thinking it's a while since I changed the dsg oil though..

How many miles / km has it done and how many beyond 40,000 miles and the first, 2nd or 3rd scheduled DSG Oil change?

It's at 165000 and the last I can find evidence of was circa 130000

Oh well. Off to we buy any car.com it went. Won't be touching Skidda again. Peace out y'all.
