Thanks Mike, no VAGCOM here, so can't guarantee it's the F125, but i'm pretty sure that's the case. It was persistently showing this for three days in a row, even with gentle persuasion, which I've not had before. Then it cleared yesterday, and I took him for a good 20 minute drive then, making sure I exercised the 'box without thrashing it, but now it's back again, so I've left him with my local (trusted!) mechanic to see if cleaning the contacts helps.
