just as an update incase anyone finds this thread. "Clutch tolerances" when plugged in with specialist mechanic. New clutch and flywheel needed. £1600 roughly

There is an engine tuner place down the road from me, i can always try there and get a quote or see what they say.

Yeah this is a dealer in my area. I explained the new gearbox and the issues etc, but yeah, they have not seen the car or plugged it in. They only have the Reg plate

Skoda contacted me today. I need a...... "basic settings and road test for gearbox rather than a software update". £144, will be getting this booked in. Fingers crossed

Paperwork says new gearbox and clutch module

Yeah they have "cleared the error code" that was originally there (i seen paperwork) so from there end, they did their bit and nothing for them to look at now. But yeah, £1200 is a lot of money for anybody. I will make a few phone calls locally and see what can be done and get a few quotes. The only local DSG specialist is the guy I went to I believe. But they dont have the "software" capabilities. Thanks for youre help

hello mate you made some helpful replies, and you are very active in my BRISKODA searches I've made today as I'm still trying to fix my car issue. It is having an issue when changing into 1st gear. I get an initial accelerator feedback..... followed by 1 second of nothing...and then the gear kicks in a 2nd time. I've had to turn off stop/start and hill assist etc as the brakes would stick or car would not pull away. i took the car to gearbox centre today having completed 500 miles since they fitted a new control module as they wanted to check it after 500 miles. No fault codes whatsoever, they took it for a drive and said a possible software update may fix the issue. They recommended a local garage locally and also Skoda dealership. Another option they recommended would be taking it to a tuner. What would you recommend if you were me. I spent £1200 and it didnt fix the car so im worried im ploughing more money into a problem that may be permanent and I can just sell the car to skoda (with no fault codes and a recent new module) and cut my loss Thanks for any help

Sorry yes i haven't access to the paperwork currently but control module/control unit could be the one. It definitely says 'control module' on paperwork.

Does anybody have any suggestions whatsoever for this error? I am going to wait 500 miles until the gearbox has 'bedded in' but its not looking good if there is currently no fault codes and it only worked for a couple days. struggling to pull out of junctions as i get a very brief 'acceleration' which then cuts out for a second or 2 so im stranded when pulling away. i have turned autohold off as was not letting me pull away. Im sure it is all linked Any input grateful Thanks

update just in case this helps anyone. Gearbox centre put in a whole new gearbox after inspecting the car and finding error codes. New gearbox was £1200 Car worked for a couple days, 2 cylinder mode kicked in often (this hasnt been the case since the issue arose, start stop, autohold etc worked lovely a week later...... 2 cylinder mode gone again. The car lags still going into gear 1. Autohold is very sticky I think i may have to cut my losses on the car. No error codes whatsoever

Thankyou I actually pulled up at a gearbox centre today and he said just double check oil again and all he can do is take it for a spin and check computers etc so ill book him in next week possibly

UPDATE. Started getting lag again. Pulling away at junctions. Auto hold keeping me stuck etc. and today "oil service due now". Oil level has been perfect all week after fresh oil and filter 6 days ago but i didnt reset interval after i did change stupidly, so likely not that. Few mechanic friends have said possible gearbox issue.

Did an oil change today. Changed filter also. Instant difference. I must have got confused with the dates of last oil change. Thanks guys

Cheers guys ill take a look at the oil more closely today

Car has done 60000 miles. Spark plugs replaced at 40,000 miles. No fault codes found by 2 mechanics. Oil is always fine when checked. I thought this was a way of skoda telling me to do an oil change.
