Audi s3 8v s-tronic dashboard message

Hello, lads keep getting this mesage on my instrument cluster, only stays on for three seconds then goes off. Sometimes it'll do it three time a trip and sometime's not at all.

Message below

Shift to P before driving, Electrical fault please see manufacturer

Mate scanned the other day and said it was communication errors. Said it's looks like it's had a flat battery. Cleared faults and just come back on today.

Just bought the car too.

Any ideas.

Cheers Dan

How new is the car? Think it's gonna be a call to Audi if it's still under warranty, I've not had anything like that in mine.

Sorry forgot to mention it's a 2014, only has 14500 on the clock too. Just bought it but the spec is unreal. Or I would just ask for my money back.

Drives perfect.

Heard of this before or similar think it might be a solenoid or switch fault in transmission. Something about detecting gears in right position before they engage ?

So sounds like the mechatronic unit then? If that's the case it goes back to where I bought it lol.

Anyone else have any other ideas.

Let the supplying dealer sort it, don't mess with it!

Don't worry mate, only had it a week. I won't be touching it at all. Very disappointed to be honest, but hopefully it'll get sorted.
