I'll try anything, but my hand book doesn't mention pausing. Mine's a 15 reg, is yours? I always go into neutral, press down, move right and into reverse. A friend suggested only pressing down when above reverse and then back, didn't work, the manual says to do it as I normally do.

other people have tried driving it and noticed that when they move the gear stick into reverse, it seems like there is a notch to get around. Most of the time the stick goes into reverse effortlessly, but my struggle with reverse gear may be because there's this notch (??) that I don't get the gear stick to go around and so it sometimes refuses completely to go into reverse, feels like it's going around this notch or grates a bit. is this even a gear box problem or is the notch somewhere else? is this a known Skoda Citigo thing? Thanks

forgot to say, they say the idling noise that stops when the clutch is engaged, is normal.

In need of advice please: So, the new clutch sorted out the problems happening with getting into reverse, first, second and third gears. Ater that, it was an intermittent problem with reverse gear, sometimes ok, but sometimes refusing totally, or going in but feeling notchy or crunchy. The car's just back from the garage and the gear selector tower was replaced. It's still got the same reverse gear problem. Garage guy says they've tried everything VW tells them to do to sort this particular problem. The guy tells me the car gears have NEVER played up for them, they have just sought to try things to fix it. Passed the buck back to me, saying “This isn't the car for you, is it, Miss.....” jokingly but annoyingly. As two (male) friends have experienced the same problem, one filmed it on his phone before the new clutch was in, it's not just me. Keep having to answer the same questions: “yes I'm putting the clutch pedal right to the floor, yes it's stationary when I try and yes I wait between changing gears!!!” help!

Please can someone help?? I bought a 2015 Citigo last October, 17,000 miles, from a VW approved garage. I couldn't get it into reverse gear, from cold, intermittently. It went into the garage, but they only had it that day and probably tested warm, came back as ok at time of test. It got worse until I couldn't get other gears after reverse gear. It went in last month and they said it was clutch drag and put a new clutch in. Days after back, I struggled with reverse again. Sometimes it goes in perfectly, other times, it feels "knotchy" or gratey or just won't go in and takes 3 attempts. With the old clutch, it was always from cold, just setting off. Since the new clutch, it sets off ok everytime, but I might drive 5 minutes, park and reverse and get the problem. Also, there is a rough noise, that stops when the clutch is pressed in. My local garage said it sounded louder than it should be for a car that's now done 18,000 miles and there must still be a problem if reverse is still a problem. We can't remember noticing this noise before. Anyone know what's happening??
