VCDS will tell all 
Btw, I wouldn't be at all surprised at it running a little hot in this weather while it's in limp mode since its stuck in 3rd gear. |
Thanks MJ. Apparently the F125 switch was replaced about 16 months and about 3500 miles ago but I don't have a bill for it.
I put it in drive, press the throttle, about a second or two (no more) of revving and no moving and thunk, we are off in third and all the selector positions illuminate. Reversing is fine. Good point about getting a little hotter in third.
Thank you, I love this place
