Yes, in the UK. Ordinarily we likely would have but we haven't had the opportunity to drive in any meaningful capacity because of a radiator leak identified the day after purchase. Fortunately, the dealership repaired this a few days ago hence us now being able to drive and noticing the gear issue. As I mentioned briefly before, we thought initially it was grinding due to not being used to a different gearbox but road testing yesterday confirmed it is not behaving as it should.

Hi all, I wasn't sure about the synchro on first but I mentioned as I had seen it stated both ways from multiple people. The car was bought in England. Regarding the purchase, it was bought from a dealer less than 2 weeks ago. We imagined the issue may have been user error as it's different to the car my partner learned in but after some reasonably well structured road testing we did, the problem is persistent so seems down to the mechanism rather than the user. The dealership has a partial warranty on clutch and gearbox but only covers 50% of the costs or repairs on these. We are still within our return period now but only just.

Hi all, My partner has recently gotten a 63 plate citigo with 105000miles and we have noticed some (potential) issues with the gearbox/clutch (present since we got the vehicle) When shifting down from 2nd to 1st, we get a grinding noise coming from the car and some resistance during the change before it slots in. This happens when switching down at any speed more than an absolute crawl (3 mph say). If we stay in 2nd at this speed the car is very juddery as if it wants us to shift down but the gears grind when we actually do. Sometimes it is also difficult to engage first and reverse from stationary but resetting the clutch usually fixes this. Is this something that is a serious problem or is this just a generic problem with the Skoda citigo? Additionally, will this cause rapid degradation to the gearbox as it happens virtually every time? We don't have a problem when switching to or from any other gears. I have heard many bad things about the gearbox in general (not having synchronised 1st and reverse gears?) but am yet to find any info about our specific problem so though I would ask. Thank you in advance for any help regarding this, it is greatly appreciated. T
