I'm on my second such car, but have not experienced that issue, the
reason for the last one going was that the gearbox was getting "fussy" ...

It *did* make me a bit nervous, but Tim Downie on here somewhere had had
the same. The Leon was approaching 140k when I sold it.


Yep, mIne gave me a fright when it stopped going up through the gears as it
should have. In the end though it wasnt a gearbox problem but a faulty
wheel speed sensor feeding the gearbox erroneous information. Oddly this
didnt show up on the normal computer scans. It was only when it came up as
a brake or ABS problem that the relationship became clear.

Yes, ISTR I dropped you an email and you pointed me in the right
direction, and then a few days later my car did exactly the same as your
Touran, lighting up the ESP and ABS.
