Thank you for the response. I’ll be sure to get it checked asap then. I didn’t want to get the gearbox done and then find out it isn’t even the gearbox. Appreciate it 🙏🏾

Hi guys, I was wondering whether I could get some help please. So I’ve recently purchased a MK3 Octavia 2.0 tdi 6 speed automatic (dsg). So recently I’ve been having issues with the vehicle. Whenever I start the vehicle there seems to be a grinding noise at idle also when i rev the car a rattle appears. Even when I’m driving that noise continues from time to time. When I ease off the accelerator and get to lower speeds the noise appears (appears when gearbox drops from 3rd to 2nd . I’ve had AA out and the AA man stated it was a dual mass flywheel. He stated that it shouldn’t be on its way out due to the mileage but said it was this. However the warranty company, who are willing to fix the vehicle have stated there isn’t a dual mass fly wheel on the vehicle and it works on some sort of other mechanism (can’t exactly remember what he said). Would someone be able to tell me whether it does or does not have a dual mass fly wheel if they’ve got the same car? And is there a way I could find out without having to get down to the nitty gritty and pulling the car apart? thanks in advance.

@HappySam thank you for that. I mean I would ask the dealership but tbqh I’m not too sure as to what they’re even doing with regards to getting my radio fixed. Might have to get trading standards involved soon

@HappySam would there be any way I could reconnect it myself? Would you have any idea ?

Hi all, I’m new to this. Just came across this recently. Glad I found it tbqh with you all! I’ll try keep it short and sweet. Recently purchased a Skoda Octavia 2017. Had a few issues with the radio DAB to be precise. Taken it back to the dealership where I purchased it from 4 times so far and unfortunately they said they can’t figure out the issue so will have to rewire it all. However, upon visiting the dealership a few days ago and after 6 hours of them having the vehicle and not being able to find the problem a new problem has arose. So my sat nav is currently showing I’m in Newton-Le-Willows and I live in Wigan?! Drove to Blackpool today and nav was showing in Wrexham?! I’ve tried rebooting the system but I’ve had 0 luck. I’ll attach a file so everyone can see, but can anyone help me please with this issue? I’d appreciate it so much. Thank you!
