Exclamation Limp mode, first one here with Faultcode 17115(?)

Good evening Gents.

Thie old girl is acting up again. Had a trip to the mountains last week and suddenly the christmas lightning was a fact.
PRND432 and the car had apx the same power as an 2CV

Stopped an restarted and it was gone, tried to punish the car a bit in order for it to return, but it stayed away. well all goods thing i thought.
The gearbox shifts as smoothly as always.

2 days ago, while enterening R and engaging the gear smoothly followed by a very short feeling of it slipping for a microsecond. Put it back into N and back into R. shifts smoothly, but after apx 2 second there is a slight feeling of it slipping. Tried 10-15 times and the exact same happens everytime.

I have tried backing up immediatly after the gear is engaged(before the tiny slip is noticed) and it backs up like a prince..

So i finally today i had the chance to do the VCDS and check for fault codes.

Just gonne post those from engine and gearbox. The ones related to the engine i had back in August 2016, but they have dissapeared since (and returned... yeeay)

The once for the gearbox is new and scary.. Could not even fine any thread in regards to 17115.

The gearbox was conpletely rebuilt apx 50k miles ago, and had the last oil and filter change 20k miles ago.

Faultcodes for the gearbox has not returned yet.
The shifting is still smooth into every gear, revers included

Only noticable difference is that if i put it in reverse with the brake on,I feel that tiny slip after 2 seconds and it only happens once. This however does not happen in the mornings when its cold..

Could this be low oil level?

Most probably the F125 switch. Mine started acting up when selecting reverse and was intermittent just like yours. Someone on here has just posted about an F125 failure after (25? 50?k) miles. Mine at least hit 100k.
The F125 switch would be the item identified as the "Sensor Gear Position Indicator"

17115 means the TCU has noticed a difference between the input and output speed sensors that does not match the expected value for the gear it thinks it is in. Mechanically, that's a clutch pack slipping, as you describe. Not low oil level - in that case the torque converter will start whining well before the clutches slip.

However, given that its been rebuilt, I'd agree with David that the F125 is the first place to look as that is cheaper and simpler to swap as a diagnostic measure than pulling the gearbox out. If that indicates a different gear electrically to what the gearbox is actually doing mechanically that can also trip this code. For example, the F125 briefly indicates 'D' to the TCU, with the shifter actually in 'R'. TCU goes 'whoa we're going backwards when we should be going forwards: wrong gear ratio!'.

On an older gearbox I'd be looking at the A clutch pack, as that's the prime problem area in these. Likely the roller bearing fallen apart, or the clutch basket cracked.

F125 first though as it causes a multitude of weird problems

Sorry for the late update on this problem.

Just been on winter vacation and driven the car 500+ miles without any problems. It still "slips" after 2 sec in R with the brake on. The slip is more noticeable if its a steep hill.. I also noted a new funny thing. If i lock it into 1st gear and drive above 3000rpm and i let off the throthle, it shifts into 2nd gear by it self when rpm goes down to apx 1800-2000rpm.. it happens on 3 out of 5 times.

So su surely something is not quite right.

For those of you that has had gearboxes slipping in reverse, is there any difference between when the gearbox is cold compared to at operating temp?

The slip never happens when cold.

F125 is on my check list

Car still working but its showing more by the week that there is something gone real bad inside the gearbox

Since i need the car everyday, i just bough a replacement for the daily drive today, and i'll see in the near future if going manual or sell it "as is" will ne the outcome.
However, i'm proud to show off my new ride here.. It is just so bad ass, and i know you all want one

Aren't you taxed on the number of seats in a car in Norway? That's gotta be cheap both to tax and to run!!

Looks fun ... though I'd be a little nervous driving something so small on a motorway or near any trucks.
