This is sounding very similar to my fault a few years ago, where the car remained driveable, but kept slipping into limp mode under anything but light throttle, with an incorrect gear ratio code.

Turned out to be a broken pipe from the valve body to one of the clutch packs.
Gearbox specialist diagnosed it and it only cost A$350 or $450 or something to repair.

Wishful thinking perhaps, but you never know your luck. The fact that it keeps driving is something.

- has a louder more obnoxious exhaust than the S8, sounds great! Love this thing - Q7 was double the price, and certainly not double the car!
