Audi a6 multitronic gearbox issue

[Leemac]

Hi there im new to this forum and wondered if anyone can advise me on an issue with my audi a6 avant. I've had the car a couple of months and no issues but after a few hours driving the other day it came up with an Amber warning gearbox malfunction and said I could continue driving. After a few miles the warning disappeared then the morning after it re appeared and went after a few miles driving. Ive just returned from holiday and since then it appears evertime I start the car and goes after a few miles. Is there a simple fix for this issue maybe it needs more oil in the gearbox or a possible gearbox service or is it going to be a big job? I was given 12 months rac warranty with the car when I purchased it so maybe that will cover any work thats required. Thank you in advance. https://www.audiownersclub.com/forums/topic/18638-audi-a6-multitronic-gearbox-issue/?do=findComment&comment=66151

Just responded to your other post.

I'm not sure exactly what the oil change interval is about 60,000mls sounds reasonable, when was the last time it was changed? Getting the oil changed solved my problem. Its not cheap though, and not all garages have the required tools/knowhow. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. Looking at the service history it's about 60000 miles since it was last done but I only have partial history so can't be certain. Would you say it would be better to go to an audi service centre then maybe to get it done right first time? Its still driving ok but its obviously warning me about something that needs sorting sooner rather than later.
