Hi all

Yesterday I noticed that gears would change up at 2-2500rpm without any kick down working and as the road was going up it would not change down. I had to use tiptronic in emergency in order to avoid the car from stalling (which would be a first for an automatic!). Before that I had lost acceleration on the motorway and it was barely creeping up in speed.

It does not happen all the time so I am open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance

David
