✖Automatic gearbox: limp mode and shift jerks

The automatic gearbox of the 4007 starts to shift jerkily or enters limp mode when warm at higher mileages. Defective gearbox temperature sensors and insufficient gearbox oil level are frequent triggers. The DSG-based transmission is more susceptible than a conventional automatic.

Symptoms: Gearbox shifts jerkily or not at all, gearbox warning light on, vehicle runs only in limp mode, no drive when pulling away
