Well I am sorry this has appeared for you, but glad it's not just me! I got fed up with it on the day it really turned nippy, so whilst the technicians and I agreed it was 'just one of those things' on particularly cold days last winter, I chased it up again. They did some research, and advise it is a known issue and a software update. I'm having that done in two weeks, so may know more then.

I know I'll get my ears bent if it keeps appearing .
I've just cleared the codes with Forscan and taken the car for a test drive, getting it up to temp in different drive modes whilst monitoring the PIDs on the laptop. I couldn't replicate the fault, although it is 1 or 2 degrees warmer than when the fault occurred this morning.
If it was something more sinister I'd expect it to be happening more frequently though.

2 weeks ago I had the same error: Transmission too hot Press Brake.
Contacted the dealer, and dealer checked the error codes and went forward to change the Gearbox temp sensor under the warranty.
The dealer did a test drive and was not able to replicate the error.
I picked up the car and for the next few days, no issues, but then when I parked the car in underground parking and few hours later drove out of it the error came back. The PUMA is going back to the dealer next week.
I think the issue is with what you do when you start the car. The error occurs under specific conditions, when the car has not driven for few hours and then is driven on incline (at least in my case)
How I managed to replicate the error
1) Left the car in the underground parking
2) After few hours of car standing there I get in the car and start the engine
3) Wait about 5-10 sec (get my seatbelt on, tune the radio, wait for the phone to connect to the car, etc )
4) Slowly back up out of the parking space and drive for about 30 sec till the exit of the underground parking
5) The exit is in incline (no idea how steep it it, maybe 10%, 15%)
6) Drive up the incline and drive out in the ground level parking lot
7) Driving out of the ground level parking takes about 30s-45 sec or about 200-300m (a lot of cars, and quite narrow)
8) When I'm just outside the parking lot, the error comes up
I tried to replicate the same steps, and the error came up almost in the same spot (maybe 25m earlier or later).

That's really interesting Tremand. I don't think the incline issue occurs here, as I live on the coast and it's as flat as a snooker table. As I said, I was told it was a software issue. I haven't had the issue lately, but then it's a bit milder now. January/February will be interesting.

The software has been updated. I won't know if it's worked until we get some colder weather (like < 2C).paulcurtis wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 8:56 am Well I am sorry this has appeared for you, but glad it's not just me!

I've had no further instances of the message. So it looks like the software fix was effective.
