I got a gearbox fault warning with Low power restriction this morning.
It cleared via restart, and hasn't reappeared since as I ran my errands around town this morning. I don't yet have a fault reader but was wondering if there was any likely causes, and whether serious or not.
I had just started driving for the day - maybe 10 mins into journey at 80km/h on freeway and car was not fully warmed up yet.
I do normally let it warm up on the drive when I can - had no time today as overslept!
- 2010 TDV8 Luxury with approx 175k kms.
- Fully serviced.
- Gearbox oil and filter change at purchase almost 3 years ago - I was told the oil was perfectly clear and no sludge
- The car had never towed as best I can tell as I had tow electrics fitted at purchase 3 years ago.
- a couple of months ago I bought a jetski with non-braked trailer which I have towed 6 or so times.
- was not towing this morning, and only me in the car.
