Have you had the latest software update for autos? Although I didn't have the warning lights it certainly improved the smoothness of the gearchanges Cheers,

If you have a manual, then that light can be triggered only by the rear Haldex system (active on-demand coupling).
Check its electrical connection and then its oil.

Thanks very much Alex, I don't suppose you have a picture as regards location of the Haldex?

The Haldex system is just in front of the rear differential.

Alex, thanks for the information, my light has been coming on intermittantly for a while. I've got the manual FL2 and will have a look in the light tomorrow. I take it that its easy to see the electrical connection which i'll give a clean and how do you check the oil level?

regards

Rob

It's easy to see the electrical connector, but I don't think that there's the problem because the connector is very well designed and there is a slim chance for oxidation...
As for the oil, see here: http://www.freel2.com/forum/post100292.html#100292
