My local Skoda main dealer is asking £90 to run diagnostics and then a minimum of 4 hours at £105 /hr for any work. All plus VAT. Some serious thinking to be done.

No idea, but I bet the "actuator" is just a solenoid that physically moves parts in the gearbox to select gears for you. There will probably be two or three solenoids and they probably have a means of signalling their position (open/closed) to the control unit. It could be that one is sticking or has failed (or a wire has come off or a bad contact).
It reminds me of the electrically-controlled 4WD and Low-range selector mechanism on my Nissan pick-up truck - these solenoids would start to fail on high mileage trucks or ones that did a lot of off-roading as water got in, and would then need to be replaced because 4WD stopped engaging properly. They basically just shoved lock-pins and sliding gears around inside the transfer case. Not a million miles from what goes on in an ASG, I would think.
Thing is, the parts are probably not expensive, but it all depends on what you need to do to change them.
I could be completely wrong here, but there are not many other theories being put forward!My thinking also. The pertinent bit is 'depends on what you need to do to change them'. Reminds me of my first car - a Renault 5TS - my local garage had to purchase a special tool to remove one of the spark plugs that was totally inaccessible. I went halves with them on the cost of that tool - doubling the cost of the service!!

So, the error codes that showed up were as follows. If anyone can through any light on what these mean in practical terms or, more especially, what they might mean in cost terms, I'd be delighted to hear.
P060B00 - Internal control module processing performance
P091000 - Gate select actuator circuit open
P092000 - Gear shift forward actuator circuit

I know very little about this exact ASG, but I'm betting oil quantity/quality is not the issue, but I'd be very pleased to be wrong!
These units are not rocket science - far simpler than a full DSG or a modern version of a slush-box automatic.
I reckon it's going to come down to one or more of: electronic control unit/sensors/solenoid actuators/bad wiring or contacts. The problem clearly is finding which it is.... I am surprised that the ECU error codes are not more helpful for the dealer.
Thanks for that. I'll ask the garage what the fault codes were (I know they noted them for future reference) and check with a specialist.

There are similar threads in the Citigo section worth reading. Sadly the issue is one that Skoda / VW Dealers are not dealing with very well.
It is not a DSG in the Citigo. ie Twin Dry Clutch 7 speed. It is an ASG.
Thanks. Can't amend post though. Query remains as cannot see a post relating to warning light.

The DSG gearbox malfunction warning light appears on our 2012 Citigo on first ignition and gears will not select. Turning ignition off an on again corrects this and car then drives normally. Our independent garage has reset the codes and checked for leaks but problem still occurs. They suggest a DSG oil change MAY fix the problem, else it needs to be seen by a specialist. Is it likely that an oil change will resolve issue? The DSG oil has never been changed. Mileage is 65,000.

Thanks for that. Doesn't appear on the online configurator so you were quick off the mark.

Goldtw74. Sounds great. Look forward to hearing what you think of it. Can I ask how much it cost? Thank you.
-
I must have been talking to the apprentice. Although I've now ordered something else, when I'm next passing a showroom I'll pop into to see for myself out of curiosity.
-
Apart from a news item on their corporate website, no mention on their UK site nor in the online brochures / configurator. As a matter of interest I just rang my local dealer and they have no details regarding cost or availability. Sounds like you have insider information
-
Nothing. In actual fact I've moved on and just ordered another marque. I had settled on a Peugeot 3008 but found a six month lead time so I've gone for a BMW X1. Had Skoda had that digital dash six months ago I would have ordered the Karoq then but the delay (and lack of info) caused me to look around and, as I said, move on.
-
My dealer has responded regarding the digital dashboard in the Karoq "at present this option is not currently available. The latest update that we had gave an approximate availability for the option as mid year, but to be confirmed."
-
The website of my local dealer http://www.dmkeith.com/skoda/new-cars/karoq/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIw7Ch-qvV2AIVghXTCh3Z5A7QEAAYAiAAEgJzWvD_BwE
clearly states "The freely programmable digital instrument panel is offered for the first time in a ŠKODA. In the Karoq, the cockpit displays can be pre-set to the driver’s chosen configuration." Given that this is clearly untrue at the moment I'm wondering how they can make the claim.

Sadly it's a 2012 model.

The metal cover around the auto gear selector (arrowed in image) has become detached and makes awful clanking noises when used. So a few questions for readers here if I may. Is this problem a diy fix? If not is it likely to be expensive? Finally, does this part have a proper name?

DSG gearbox malfunction warning light. Cause?
in Škoda Citigo

A very belated update... My Skoda Dealer, having run diagnostics, determined that a new battery was required. Once fitted, the gearbox warning lights went out and have not returned.
