Yeah, can understand that! Thank you very much for your help, it has at least confirmed I'm right.

Thank you! This was my fear, yes that is the reg of the car. Have you came across this fault before? All my testing leads to the sensors / switches in the selector. I've seen kits online to replace the sensors on the DSG selectors, wiuld you know if the electronics of the DSG would be the same? Loads of DSG selectors on ebay which is why I'm wondering of I could make one from two.

2007 Octavia 2.0 FSi with O9G Auto box, not DSG. Driving home tonight as some point my gear indicator went static as per the pic, gearbox appeared to be operating as normal. Stopped, switched off, removed key, started again, no difference. After a few miles it returned to normal, just the D highlighted and the gear number displayed, then another few miles it went back to the pic. Next stop, it wouldn't release the key, started the engine, selected some gears, into park again, switched off, key out. Next trip to shop, all appears normal except for the gear indicator. Back into the car to come home and stuck in 1st gear, wouldnt change, but i could change it using tip-tronic. Once home, no reverse lights or parking sensors, won't release the key, some messing around I got the key out. Has anybody ever had something similar? I scanned it with VCDS and got 2 fault codes 18253 - Please check DTC Memory of Steering Electronics (J527) P1845 - 000 - 02413 - Switch for Selector Lever Position P Lock (F319) 008 - Implausible Signal Looking at various channels it would appear the car thinks its stuck in "Manual" and I'm fairly sure the issue lies within the gear selector in the car but I have not yet stripped it out to look properly at it and information online of how to test it is sketchy at best. When first switching on the ignition the P displays normally for less than a second, then 1 - 6 shows on the dash (manual mode display) and then the PRNDS as per the pic. Unplugging the grey square connector stops this happening with just the PRNDS lit, which I understand is the indication of a fault. So, I cannot find a used unit online to suit the 09G and DSG seems to be a different part number, but I'm wondering are the electrics of the DSG essentially the same and I could make a DSG selector work on my car? Part No I believe to be 1K2 713041C Or, can anybody offer any other advice with regard to testing or diagnosing before spending nearly £600 on a replacement shifter?

Hello everyone I'm sure someone somewhere has covered this but I can't find it. Car in question is a 2007 Octavia Elegance Estate 2.0 FSi Auto with Stream radio fitted. I've got my hands on a MFSW from a Superb, I've changed the airbag loom and fitted it all to the car, everything fits fine and my own airbag even works with the "new" steering and loom. I tried to code with VCDS and I'm getting Coding rejected - Error 31 - Request out of range. I've read about coding out the stalk for cruise control but can't find anything about how to do it. Cruise, radio etc all working as normal, no lights one but horn doesn't work. Horn issue has only been present since fitting the new air bag loom so I assume this is to do with the coding of the MF Buttons? The clock spring part number is 1K0 959 653 C which from what I can find is compatible with MFSW Can anybody offer any advice? Thanks in advance Andy
