I didn't notice any warning lights. Maybe I missed it, in the heat of the moment. Anyhow, I will ask a different service for a second opinion.

There were 2 incidents. 1st incident: summer (2020), steep unpaved stones/gravel road in Greece (terrible heat). I couldn't climb that hill. I asked the service about the issue and they told me that it was the protection software caused by overheating. 2nd incident: last weekend (rather cold ~ 0ºC), steep hill (but not very steep), asphalt road with a bit of fine gravel (leftovers from the winter anti-slippery material). The road was wet, no ice. I had winter tires. This incident worried me because it wasn't really something out of ordinary with that road.

The engine stalled. My impression was that the stalling was related to the slight loss of traction and not to an under-revving of the engine. Further details: no heavy loads in the car, luggage for a weekend, driver + 1 passenger. @KenONeill: I live in Romania.

The engine is the 1l TSI, 110hp, manual. I didn't try to start the car revving the engine at 4k. I put it in neutral and revved the engine to see if there is something wrong. It didn't go over 4k. When in gear, I tried to start normally, without revving the engine.

Hello, I experienced some strange issues with my 2019 Skoda Fabia. I was driving on a hill, at low speed (stopping and starting due to traffic) and on a slightly steeper part, the car failed to start. There was a bit of gravel on the road and the road was a bit wet so the wheels lost traction a bit. In that bit, the engine stopped. I tried to rev the engine a bit and it wouldn't go past 4000 rpm. I managed to go past that spot because someone gave me a push. Same thing happened more than 1 year ago, in the summer, on an uphill gravel road. When I had the technical inspection I told them about the problem, but they couldn't find anything wrong with the car and they explained that it was caused by overheating of the clutch and the engine entering protection mode (or something like this). I kind of accepted the explanation (it was a really hot weather and a bad road), but the recent incident showed me that something is definitely wrong.
