Tiptronic Emergency Run - again

[ferrytrip1]

Hi, I asked the question some weeks ago but never really got to the bottom of my problem.

Tip emerg run comes on at random intervals. Today, drove the car for about 30 mins, varying between highway and back roads and let the car sit for 20 mins or so. I turned it around and let sit for another few mins. Tip emerg run come on twice just after I restarted it. It came on a minute or so later.

This last happened on 24th Dec - twice - but not since.

I first saw this about 6mths ago, changed the xmsn fluid and my indy used the durametric. Since then he has looked 3 times with the durametric but each time there have been no codes displayed.

There is no apparent drivability issues - it performs well in both auto and "manual".

I live in Dubai, so still a pleasanter 25deg C during the day and 17 deg at night.

Anybody any thoughts - I do not really want to drop the xmsn to investigate. This is an 02 Base 2.7 with 153k Km, so not a valuable car but one that still has some life in yet. Its not a DD but does get used when I can.

Thanks for looking, Simon
