Default Is this curtains for the 'box?

How are you all, it's been awhile.

The car has been back on the road for 4 days after a 12 month lay up.

As I'm parking the car tonight the 'box feels a bit weird and I get the red lights of death as I shift from reverse to drive. I turned the ignition off and then on again and the lights stayed off.

Vagcom shows:

17090 - transmission range sensor (F125): Implausible signal.

The Ross Tech Wiki says

Possible Causes

  • Failed Multi-Function Transmission Range Switch (F125)
  • Wiring harness issue between F125 and TCM
  • Failed TCM
  • Shifter cable incorrectly adjusted
Possible Solutions

  • Inspect wiring harness between F125 and TCM, repair as needed
  • Replace Multi-Function Transmission Range Switch (F125)
  • Replace TCM
  • Check shifter cable adjustment
  • Check Measuring Blocks for F125 readings
Anybody had this fault and if so can you explain the above in English

Gutted and about to be massively skint me thinks.

How's it going buddy, long time no see. Glad you got the insurance etc sorted in the end. I think Adrian just had his switch changed recently, might not be as bad as you think, fingers crossed for you.

Welcome back steve!
It may be as Amar says or even that the switch is a bit rusty as the car has been parked up. Hope it's something small

Sounds like could just be crap in the F125 after being sitting so long. There's an audipages write up on it.

It's an FL isn't it? Usually reverse that goes on them.

Thanks for the welcome back and for the replies.

Just looked on Audipages and it's a bit of a job.

May have to try Grizz at Unit 20 as they are close to work.

Does anyone know if the car is drivable or will it go into limp home mode?

Only heard good things about Grizz on SRS/RS246 and he has about ten RS4/6s parked outside his unit at any time including his brand new C6 RS 6 saloon in suzuka grey , you should be in good hands with him. He's doing lots of work on my RS 6 in November as he knows the C5 RS 6 better then anyone else IMO.
