[soti]

Hi
I have a problem that sometime on my audi a4 2002 2.4 instrument panel is flashing gear lights I have automatic gear..
does anyone know what does it means?

[Guest 2]

there is a fault within the gearbox module

get it scanned with vcds to pinpoint the problem

where abouts are you as your location is vague.

It will probably go into limp mode but not 100% on that.

Look at the bottom of this thread and there are similar questions posted.

It's like a 'safe' mode for the car.

It restricts the power to stop any damage occurring.

It may and it may not go into limp but you need it scanned ether way.

Sounds like early warning of multitronic gearbox failure imminent.
Get the car scanned for faults ,with vagcom/vcds diagnostic equipment
