the mech housing i think

hi mick - it wouldn't select any gear, yes - flashing spanner. my local garage has now looked at it - and yes housing has cracked , leaking oil - he is putting together a quote now...

Thanks everyone for your input here - yeah seems kind of outrageous that they are allowed to decide not to issue a full recall. as mentioned the dealership said i had to get it to them and pay for them to do a test to determine what caused the issue - my feeling is there is no way they are going to admit fault, prices ive seen people being quoted by dealerships on here are sky-high so we'll see. thanks again for everyones advice/help/taking the time. cheers mark

No

Yes lost drive with no previous warning, car is a 13 plate, I’ve had for 5 years, maybe 50k miles?

Thanks again for the info, the vin number check confirms the car was included/affected by the recall - I believe the car was in the extended warranty at this point - Skoda have said I need to get the car to them at my cost and then pay for a test to see if the issue is related / caused by the fault, they are also saying that the issue was only a software issue and would have only affected the performance and not been the cause of any damage/ malfunction of the gearbox.

thanks for the info - garage and customer service are saying they cannot say if that is the issue that caused the current breakdown - i now have to get the car to the dealership (it doesnt currently drive), pay for a test and then they will let me know if they think that fault caused the issue. from what ive seen online replacement costs are about as much as the car is worth

i have a 2013 plate skoda fabia and the dsg gearbox has gone. having checked online i discovered there was recall re this but having contacted both the dealer i bought the car from and the skoda helpline they are saying there is nothing they can do. is this correct? if there was a known issue with the gearbox this is almost certainly related? any idea on who else i could speak to/approach re this? thanks
