I got my car back today. I ended up taking it to Caledonian Transmissions in Glasgow. I can highly recommend them. They rebuilt the mechatronic unit and provided a year's warranty on the work, which was comparable to getting it replaced elsewhere and the cost was £1300 as opposed to the £2500-£3000 quotes I was getting elsewhere. If you have issues with your automatic transmission, this would seem to be a place worth checking out.

I purchased the car used in 2020 and have used independent garages since then. I don't recall anything in the maintenance history about recalls. I had problems with the computer in the car and ended up having it replaced recently, so I am assuming that they installed the most recent software, but can check.

Thanks Toot. I was referred to Charles Butler and yes, very busy. Can't get to it until at least October! It is an Octavia with a 7 speed DSG.

Thanks for the information in some of the other posts about mechatronic unit failures. I live just outside of Perth, Scotland and have been searching the local Skoda dealers and independent garages that will deal with an automatic transmission to find someone to fix it. I am wondering if anyone knows of a reputable garage that might do this type of work in my area. I would be prepared to go to Stirling or even Edinburgh/Glasgow if necessary. Many thanks.
