I may of over generalised regarding design flaw. It just seemed to me that I noticed a few issues with the DSG on forum posts, but not so much with a manual like mine. These things do happen, but the car has been in twice now in as many weeks, the first issue being the much discussed software update.

Dealer says gearbox needs replacing, fortunately as I've only had the car 5 weeks its covered on the warranty. Bit disappointing for a car that's only done 3K miles. A design flaw on this first edition Octavia, or just unlucky??

I went back to the dealer about my gearbox issues and went on a drive with the technician there. He drove it and agreed there was a problem. Its booked in for further investigation. Will keep you posted.

I had an old Audi A4 Avant with 150000 on the clock with no gearbox issues, although everything else was going wrong with it!! Like I say the Wife's Volkswagen Up is absolutely fine, just a bit unlucky on this one.

As far as my specific situation, I have never had a problem with any other car on this issue. We bought my Wife's Volkswagen Up from new and gear changing wasn't a problem . She has also experienced problems, so dont think it's my driving style. Might go back to dealer and get a technician to drive it to see if they identify a problem.

Thanks, inspectorman. I was a bit concerned seeing some of the posts commentating that this seemed to be specific to the 1.5 engine. Wasn't really sure how this related to a software issue , but will do as you say and take it back if this persists.

Hi All, New to the forum and Skoda. I have an Octavia 1.5 TSI (New edition, 2020). I’ve had the car for nearly a month and seem to have problems changing gear without crunching, especially from 3rd to 4th. I put this down to the fact there’s only 3000 miles on the clock and maybe the gearbox is running in. The strange thing though is that when I bought this car I test drove another Octavia 1.5 TSI and experienced similar issues. Seems better when the car is warmed up. I bought the car on the basis that I thought it was just me. I would appreciate peoples views. Thanks, Chris.

Hi All, I have recently become the owner of a Skoda Octavia, 1.5 SEL new edition. 2020. It’s my first Skoda and I’m very impressed so far. My previous car was a Mazda 6 Sport Nav and the fuel economy and performance hold up nicely in comparison, considering the Mazda was a diesel. I look forward to reading and understanding more aspects about Skoda.
