I had the same, and had to keep resetting the xy sensor, I then had the xy sensor replaced before Christmas as the dealers thought it may be that, however it's still doing it so is going in for a clutch replacement after the new year, all under warranty thank goodness.

Even if you can't manage to rest the xy sensor it's fine to drive. Just remember your reversing lights won't be working when your backing up.

I would be very gentle to prevent the clutch slipping any more thab is necessary, to prevent any damage to the flywheel... My D3 Build Thread

Are you sure the clutch isn't going?
Mine had no symptoms at first glance but went within a few weeks.
Reset procedure worked at first, until clutch slip was obvious

bigtam your lucky mine in just now losing the gear selection. clutch, flywheel and slave cylinder plus other appropriate parts £1366 thats not the local stealership either although the garage are using genuine parts... Why does every page of the manual have fingerprints?

Yep no warranty
That would have been an option if the car had been at home but with it being stuck on the isle of sky
I am between a rock and a hard place.
