Is there a fix without changing microswitch? Something like using vcds to disable this error from showing? My car is old now and out of warranty and the gearbox is blocked physically with anti-theft protection so I cannot replace the microswitch. https://imgur.com/a/0o3MZKI

Do you have a picture of where this was hapenning?

Its like anti theft device which uses a lock to lock a geabox in P position with a key (which is inserted on the right of gearbox). However, I had this lock installed when the car was new, and my dealer actually did already a fix on this gearbox (for the same message issue "leave vechicle only..") some years later. So they did already fixed this when this lock was present. But I dont know what they have actually done (havent asked at the time). I dont think they replaced microswitch (maybe they did) but not sure what was offical Skoda fix for that. I remember reading somewhere it was new gear selector or something...

I just went to remove trim to check what type of microswitch would I need, and then I saw this: https://imgur.com/a/0o3MZKI I have a multi-lock on a gearbox installed from when the car was new and I guess this black part blocking everything is part of the multi-lock. Which means I probably wont be able to replace microswitch. Not a good news 😞

Found this video, maybe it helps:

Any video on this? Pdf instructions seem very complicated to me.

I had this error fixed while in warranty and now when the car is 8 years old, the error appeared again (3 times this month). Aside from the weird warning, what can happen if this is ignored?

I went to the dealer. They said something about some potentiometer failed inside. They offered to change this part for 400 eur. I guess I can live without this.

When I go to adjust the mirror using the knob, the mirror goes up down but not left right. Is this the sure sign of mirror failing? I know this worked before. Codrivers mirror work well.

Thanks solved!

Anywhere specific in odb11? this is what I would like to know, when the car will start indicating next service.

Can you see in infotainment or with ODB11 when is next service date?

I use it so rarely that its hard to tell if this happens only on start or even later, time will tell....

As the tile says, on my hatch sometimes when I flip rear wiper to make one wipe, it doesnt make the full wipe, but stops somewhere in the middle, then I new to repeat for it to finish. Not a big deal currently but not sure what is the cause.

New battery? I had the same problems, but after a battery change, it starts like a clock each time.
