PRNDS on Bentley Continental GT
Hi All,
I am getting a PRNDS error on a regular basis on my Bentley Continental GT 2006.
I've had my local specialist have a look at it but they can't seem to find what is causing the error.
The error happens when I'm usually driving on the highway and go to accelerate. I'm thinking this may have something to do with the Turbo.
Recently the mechanics did a full wiring diagnostic but that doesn't seem to be the cause of the error.
Other than this error, the car works fine. When the error happens, the car goes into limp mode and the PRNDS lights come on in the info panel. To overcome it, I pull the car to the side of the road, turn it off, turn it on again, and everything is fine.
Any help any of you can give regarding identifying the cause of the issue would be very appreciated.
Best regards & thanks for your help in advance, G.

Any thoughts you guys can give on this are really appreciated. The garage guys are saying 1) I should replace the unit and 2) if that doesn’t work, replace the gearbox. Both options sound extreme and very expensive. Other ideas?

Well that's straightforward. Replace the transmission 
I'm teasing. I don't know what that code means. I did some Google work, you can too.
https://www.transmissionrepaircostguide.com/p0730/ (here it sounds like a slipping transmission or low on fluid/same thing)
It sounds like the sensor is telling the computer that the rotational speed from the front doesn't match the rear. Dirty fluid, low fluid, bad sensor all could get you there.
Some more searching the P0730 code with "Audi" shows a bunch of forum posts that say it's low fluid and you should start putting money away for a new transmission.
Here's a bit on how to get to it, I didn't really research this much
