Wanted to say good evening and ask a question, even though im sure there will be many more as time goes on.

Also, great friendly site, hope to be apart of the "owners club" soon :D

Took a 2003 RS6 out today from a main dealer (Surrey,UK) and really enjoyed the drive, it was for about 30 mins and had a selection of town roads, duel carrageways, twisties.

Great all round sports saloon, very impressed!

When i stopped to swap with my wife for her to have a go the car locked in the "park" setting.
Didn't matter what we did, couldn't select any other setting :stick:and couldn't remove the keys from the car.

To cut a long story i told the sales person to disconect the battery :mech: and that could reset it.

Sure enough it did, we then made a slow ride back to the showroom.

The question i have is this......

Has anyone had this problem before or do you think it was a rare one off?

In the manual for my A6, it tells me the car will do that if it detects a transmission problem, which would obviously be serious. Of course, that is for a 95 model. Or you had the steering wheel locked maybe? Tell the dealer to check on it.
