Hi everyone, I tried to see if this had already been posted but could not find it.
I have a 2000 RSK (BE5) with Tiptronic gear box that is developing an issue once warm. After driving a couple of KM\'s, the gearbox seems to partially slip out and go down to a lower gear. It holds in this gear and if you try and shift it higher with the tiptronic it thumps in quite harshly.
Additionally, when this happens there seems to be a whinning noise coming from the rear, and the car decelerates very quickly once you take your foot off the gas. I have tried stopping the car, putting it into park and turning it off. This does make problem go away, but I need to get this looked at. Last night, the "power" light began flashing for a couple of seconds then stopped.
Car has only done 53,000kms so I am at a loss to figure out what it could be. Any help would be great.
Cheers,
Carl
