Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Has anyone got any ideas why my Tiptronic Display shows I'm in 4th gear when in 2nd and then 5th when in 3rd?? Also, when stationary, the red light sometimes flicks from 2 to 4 and back again. Is there a faulty sensor or some solenoid which requires cleaning? or could this be something more serious/expensive? Thanks, John
It sounds like it might be the multi-function switch on the side of the gearbox. The contacts inside sometimes break up, causing the sort of problem you are experiencing. A diagnostic check with a Porsche tester should show up what is wrong.
Thanks for that Richard
Mine has done something similar before when the gearbox has gone into a protection mode, it stayed in 4th gear with flashing lights to warn me. I think there was something in the manual, one of the box sensors had failed.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
