I will go out and check it again but I am certain it has 7 numbers on the DIS when I put it into semi-auto mode!

Not quattro? Maybe the CVT box...

yeah, pretty sure the non-quattros are CVT, so are in fact ONE-gear, just a continuously variable one

The 7 speeds you refer to are artificial ones with CVT boxes, it's pure electric wizardry.

The big question is....does it have a F125 sensor?

No CVT will definitely not have F125 switch, and I think none of D3's has F125 switch.

That's already been proven to be incorrect....the D3's do have a F125 we are just not sure if the CVT gearbox has it! See above.
