Car now back on the road and have completed around 1200 miles since new DSG fitted, all seems okay, although reverse doesn't seem as smooth as previous DSG box. Will keep you updated over next few thousand miles

Car still off road, dealer had no luck with new mechatronic unit, on road test it was randomly selecting gears. dealer request a new gearbox to be supplied, this took a few days to get approval from Skoda Technical. It was authorised and an order was placked last week for a new DSG box. The gearbox is on back order could be upto 10 working day to source. Have put nearly 3 k on hire car so far! I will keep you updated

The unit will not program up so the new unit won't select gear, they are telling me the the mechatronic unit need to self learn! And this is where they are and can't get passed this problem.

Still not fixed new mechatronic unit fitted, but this has not fixed problem, dealer now referred it back to Skoda technical. In the mean time the dealers own demonstrator has developed the same fault when a customer was using it. Has anybody else had problems with 6 speed DSG in L&K 4x4 estates?

I have had two Surperb's an 60 plate and an 11 plate both of theses had the front and rear badges change by the dealer. (both rear badges looked like the was corrosion behind the plastic) I didn't ask they just replaced them while the cars were in for servicing as it was a known problem, I assume the reclaimed their time under warranty as I never received a bill.

Update on DSG problem, car still with dealer. Skoda technical had asked the dealer to do a number of checks. reprogram the software and check correct oil was used by factory, none of this worked. the car is now sat at the dealer awaiting the delivery of a new mechatronics unit. This is due next tuesday, once fitted a road test will be complete and Skoda technical will then request some data to be sent back to them. Fingers crossed will get it back Wednesday/Thursday. will keep you posted

I recently returned a 4x4 170 elegance estate to our lease company 3 years old with 110k. The only problems I had was seat wear on drivers seat and EGR valve stuck@ 80k The care return a 48 mpg over it life. I have replaced with new 170 L&K estate, because of my good experience with the old car, this car is currently in the main dealer with a failed DSG box after only 4.6k, let hope this is only a glitch!

Has anybody else had problem with 6sp DSG 4x4, car 6 weeks old and cover 4600 miles. went into neutral in outside lane of M42, on coasting on to hard shoulder the box jammed into unknown gear. after 90min wait for recovery the gearbox appeared to be working again. Car now with dealer awaiting Skoda technical advice. So far unable to find codes etc. If the car if driven for a short distance it goes into neutral and then jumps in and out 4th gear, its now been off road since last Friday. Does anybody know or had similar problem?
