Please help. My car was driving fine last night. Woke up this morning and it will not exceed 3000rpm. There are no Malfunctions on the computer. There is half a tank of diesel in it. If you switch it on and rev it straight away in PARK it will rev up to 5500rpm but as soon as you let go and try again it won't pass 3000. Whilst driving in D it quickly climbs gears at 1500rpm. It won't accelerate or kick down. If I drive it in Tiptronic it will sit in 1st gear at a steady 3000 (20mph) and not go past that.
