can anybody tell me how i can resolve this issue. many thanks.
Sorry to hear about your trouble mate. Not sure if the car is stuck in a slope or running. If stuck in a slope just put bricks on the front tires and jack up the rear just so the wheel can turn freely. Do this on each sides(rear) to release the weight on the tiptronic and off you go. I had this embarrassing moment once and that's what I did to get out of trouble. Took me 10min.
