I own an 01' T6, 172 000 Kms (like 90k miles or so i guess?)
Yesterday i was driving along and a message popped up stating "Transmission service urgent".
The worse part, car got stuck in third gear. I switched to manual, still can't get out of third - i flip the gearshift, but nothing happens. I was in a bit of a shock to be honest. Got to a light, turned the car off, turned it back on, and gears started shifting again, but the "tran service urgent" msg remained. Today i had court in the morning, had to go, took my car - gears shifting fine, and the service message disappeard! WTF is going on? anyone had this in the past?

I was going to take the car to the dealer today. But, now im having second thoughts on this - however, i need an oil change so im bringing it in either way. Should i have them run a diagnostic and see if anything pops up (i most probably will do this), also, - should i explain the problem or not mention it? I cant afford useless part replacements because "this could be the problem". I already poured money pointlessly into the car ons everal occasions, so would like to avoid that.

Thanks in advance for any imput!

Hi,
What did you learn today? I'm curious because I am on my 3rd transmission. I had to pay for #2 but not #3. Now I'm having trouble putting the car into Drive and it's very difficult to place it into manual mode. I have a 2004 XC90. The transmission was replaced at 88,000 miles and again at 106,000.
