This could be caused by many things - but don't panic - as the car is driving okay it is probably a spark plug coil as at your mileage you are due a change. The gearbox fault sign can be caused by the engine misfiring and confusing the gearbox controls - happened to me - took lots of investigations to prove it. Best to get your car on a diagnostics rig and see what faults are recorded. good luck - hope this helps.

My son's 04 Audi A4 Quattro is throwing 5 codes. P0103, p0203, p0400, p3100 and p0003. Isn't running

While not impossible the car would simultaneously develop a handful of seemingly unconnected faults, none of which alone is likely to prevent the engine showing some signs of life.

Clearly the systems flagged in the codes must be checked after a thorough visual inspection but I feel it is doubtful whether any fault will be found and further checks will probably point an accusing finger at the engine management computer.

Saab 900 auto with "Check gearbox" light

Hello. I had the same problem when the Check Gearbox light came on, it would be very sluggish. It turned out to be a small sensor in the transmission that lets the car know what gear it is in. It started to go out slowly and only sometimes would send the information.
