Hey there bundy, I've now done another 1000km since that event, and I haven't had a recurrence or any further issues. (I'm not totally convinced it will never resurface, but fot now I'm chalking it up as the computer "saw a 2".)
I wonder - did you also lose drive, or were you able to continue without stopping and restarting the engine? From what I've read (online, 'cause this one is not covered in the owner's manual), "Transmission Limited Function" supposedly indicates the DCT has gone onto one clutch, but the car should still be drivable with half of its gears (1, 3 and 5 or 2, 4 and 6). Just for some reason, in my case I lost both clutches until I restarted the engine ("limited function" indeed!). The fact you have warranty is definitely a good thing, but if your car is now running fine on all 6 gears with no current message, and if it didn't store a fault code (as mine didn't) they will probably have no way of telling anything ever went wrong with it. I'm not even sure if Pickles would be able to read the codes (although I believe it's standard OBD so should be doable) and I'm guessing they won't have access to any Ford software updates (unless they have some arrangement with a dealer or garage?). If you decide to take it up with them, ask what they'll do to investigate and take the advice of the others here regarding transmission fluid (i.e. was it changed on schedule and will they do a 'peace of mind' change under warranty). |
