Mine got changed by the dealer as well, paid similar price. Error was showing up more often and ultimately was present all the time, as well audible struggle by the gear selector/shifter to move into D or P.

Well one thing - 1.5TSI is a different car, not sure if it's apple to apples comparing the two. But yes - mine was ~350 parts, ~200 labor. I'm in Lithuania tho, labor can be much more expensive in elsewhere, I've seen people being qouted around 1k for the whole thing. In your position I'd strongly ask the dealer to repair it before warranty ends.

interested as well, +part number if it's visible or if you have invoice/other service papers

What year / model do you have? and what error dis you have before?

Gotcha, and thanks for sharing. And I assume you would not find these instructions in the official repair manuals? As they just replace the whole thing. Perhaps someone on the forum has access to those.

Gotcha. Just to be clear - the fix you're referring to is that arabic video posted in another thread, or? As in - that's the solenoid that the guy takes out? And it's different and more difficult to reach in the phev?

Just FYI I have the same issue of "Error: selector lever. You can drive on. Please visit workshop.", which comes on and off every other day. Car is Octavia PHEV. Had the dealer run diagnostics today and straight forward answer from their side was that 5WA713033CE needs to be replaced which is 380eur just parts, + ~200eur labor. When I've asked if I can drive, any risks etc, they just shrug it off and don't comment, "up to me", only recommending to get it fixed. I'll wait until after the holidays and so on and we'll see if it comes back on. Otherwise will get a second opinion from some non-dealer workshops.

did you finally get this sorted? any update?

Anyone who has PHEV and upgraded? Saw people talking about e-manager disappearing with this update.

Hey, Have a similar issue - whenver AC (or well - fans) are working, you can hear buzzing/motorry sounds coming from the fans under the front windshield. It's very intermittent, sometimes louder, sometimes barely audible. And only audible in silence, i.e. when no music is playing. Asked the dealer - it's essentially actuators and gears moving the fan blades side to side and controlling the airflow. There is no 'fix' for it, other than completely disassembling the whole front panel and lubing them up. It's not 'repairable' and is not harmful. Anyway - yours is slightly different issue. I'd suggest keep poking the dealer if it's under warranty, otherwise seek other repair shops.

Correct, it's' supposed to be that way'. To be honest - I'm a bit sceptical about wiring being uncovered and open like that, just as you are, but that's a very quick answer that I received. Would be great if anyone else could chip in, maybe it's just us - two 2nd owners - that are unlucky.

Thanks for sharing, and no - there is no part number visible on it. And another quick update from my side - had the car serviced at the dealership and asked specifically about this, their short comment was that "they won't fix it and and won't bother ordering any replacement cover unless I demand it ofc" and recommended simply cleaning it out i.e. ripping rest of the stuff off and forgeting about it. It is not an issue. So there's that.

As an alternative - can somebody perhaps snap a photo of that area and what it looks like in your octavia?

Hey, just noticed this wool type of pad (see photos) that has come off in the driver's footwell, kinda above and behind the pedals. Should I be at all worried? What is it for? Seems like some sort of padding/cover, but it has come completely off even tearing in places. Anyone knows what's it called so I could order a replacement? On top of that - the fuses / wiring seems on the left side is uncovered - is that normal?

Hey, just got a 2021 Skoda Combi PHEV and it's ofc completely out of charge. Tried charging via 2pin socket in the garage but it's not working. What I'm getting: On the car: solid yellow indicator On the cable control box: first (A, house) indicator flashing greed, bottom indicator (D) - solid red My guess would be - there is no grounding pin on the wall socket. Can that be the case or what else should I do to troubleshoot?

Thanks for the tips, will do!

Hey everyone, I'm new here so please forgive me if this has been asked but I couldn't find a thread as such. I'm considering buying 2021 Skoda Octavia Combi PHEV, with up to 50k km mileage so not new, but definitely not used and abused. The purchase is not exactly something I need but definitely something I want or just looking to spoil myself with as I've been grown tired of my 2016 Toyota hybrid. My question - is there anything that I should look out for? Anything I should know that could talk me out of buying an Octavia PHEV? Any technical issues..? I can charge at home & work, commute 3-5 times/week for up to 30km roundtrip. I quite often take longer trips, within country and abroad. Also - have a dog so Combi is mainly for that reason. Also looks. I'm aware of occasional infotainment issues, but as far as I'm aware it's mostly solved with software updates. Thank you!
