I turned on my car this morning and it was pretty cold out, about 30 degrees. I ALWAYS put my parking brake on because of the reaction i have developed with driving manual for so long. The car I have now is a DSG.

The car was on for about 5 seconds when all of the gears started to blink on my MFD and I could not shift out from park. After cursing at it for 10 seconds, it let me shift into reverse and drive away.

It didn't do it the other 2 times i have turned the car on today? Any idea about this because i know in 06's and i believe 07's there was a tsb about this, but i think they would of fixed that for 08 no?

I believe that the blinking gear indicator is the tranny's version of the check engine light.

Oh, expect the next 5 posts to contain some variant of "RTFM". lol
