Ring skoda customer service and see what they say, they're involved with mine now and I'm dealing with a John Good and he so far has been very helpful

Well so far mine has had a mechatroinc unit, a full clutch pack and that did not solve it, now they're fitting a full new transmission . It's been going on since 4th Jan and I have only had my car for two weeks since then but atleast the dealer give a new 1.6 Octavia TDI loan car

Yes very similar but I also get what feels like a big misfire but it's not from the engine it's the gearbox trying to change gear

Well so far mine has had a mechatroinc unit, a full clutch pack and that did not solve it, now they're fitting a full new transmission .

the main thing is that the car will judder at low speed when it tries to change up or down ie 4 to 5, 5 to 6 or 6 to 5 it feels to me very much like clutch judder but if you change at higher rpm it's usually ok

Guess so the Skoda dealer did it

I was told they were submitting a report to Skoda technical, it was them that said change the mechatronic unit but that did not cure the problem.

I'll give them until Wednesday the ring Skoda, this is only 14 months old and just now done 12000 miles.

To me it's either the DMF or clutch but trying to get them to accept my opinion is a joke even thought I worked for Ford Motorsport for 12 years !!!! It's s judder and that is 90% clutch/flywheel related

Well still no further forward with this, went on a 30 minute road test when the technician and it did it twice . Back at the dealers they said they had no idea what it was and would contact Skoda tech. still waiting of them coming back to me :(. just been out in it and it juddered 3 or 4 times when changing from 5 to 6 and 5 to 4. I am now getting to the point where I just don't want to use the car

Thanks, no I used a debit card to pay the deposit, the main problem is that they don't know what the fault is and when they road test it it never happens, which is typical, they more or less guessed at the mechatronic unit as they had some failure on this before.

thanks for the info, it's 14 months old not on finance bought new by me and I am using the supplying dealer, can i ask for a replacement car?

Well my 140 DSG (Aug 10) has been in the dealers for 2 weeks after it appears to have had a DSG problem, juddered sometimes when changing 5 - 6 at lowish speed. they fitted a new mechatronic unit and I got it back Thursday. It was ok Friday to work (20 miles) but yesterday and a long run (50 miles) the judder came back :( so it's not fixed. Back to the dealers on Monday who have no idea what it is and there is no error code in the read outs !!!!!

Dealer has checked for codes but no error codes there, I went out the the mechanic and it did it when he was in so it's now booked in for the 4th Jan so the can check the DSG and hopefully fix it. They think its the mechatronic unit.

I have a 2.0 140 DGS Octavia 14 months old and it has done this only twice. Change up from 4th to 5th then 6th the car judders very badly for a few seconds. I have had it to MSB and they can not find any faults with it nothing in the logs and can not recreate the problem!!!!
