Default I think it means that your car is going to drop your 4.2L V8 from the right side of its engine bay.

Be ready to stop and pick it up.

Default Yea Arpad whose car is it?

Im thinking something is wrong with one of the motor mounts but it might be just a bad selanoid throwing a code and now a bad motor mount.

Default LOL!

Yeah, it's a solenoid. That's an electrical error that the vag is reporting. If you check the wiring leading to the engine mount, you may find your issue, otherwise the solenoid is probably bad (wherever that wire leads to).

It's plausible that the misshift caused so much movement that the wires at the mount or the solenoid got tugged enough to dislodge them and cause a short...just a rough guess.

Default You are most correct

it could also be a software glitch and really be no problem at all, I have seen that as well

Default Motor mount is going bad. If so, that sucks. Hopefully it's a connector or harness.

If the mount is bad they have to drop the engine to get to it.
