Tiptronic thinks its in reverse
Parked up my car reversing into garage 3 weeks ago. Left it in park, Went away for 3 weeks charged battery up on my return. Tried to start the car nothing happens - all the lights etc. come on but nothing. I noticed that the reversing lights came on with the ignition.
Turns out whatever position I move the shift lever the reverse lights stay on. The cars brain appears to think its in reverse gear and therefore won't start the engine. In fact the car appears to be in neutral as I can push it backwards and forwards.
The shift level itself clicks into its different slots but with the button held down slides freely backward and forward with no resistance without having to have ones foot on the brake as you would usually expect.
Any ideas most welcome.
