Had my vRS for 17 months now and has covered 10,800 miles in that time from brand new.

Two weeks ago I was slowing down for traffic when the MFD showed the gear was staying in D4 even when i had come to a complete stop.
I tried putting it through neutral, reverse, park and back again and nothing worked. As I tried moving away the engine stalled. Straight into park and turned the ignition off, restarted the car and all way fine for another 220 miles back home.

Everything was fine until last wednesday evening after another 220 mile journey, coming to reverse parallel park into a side bay, there is a really mechanical sounding grind coming from the gearbox, it only seems to happen in reverse though, all other gears sound and perform fine, sport works fine.

I've booked it in for a week on monday to have it checked out ata skoda dealer/ garage so I guess I'll find out if its a software glitch in the mechatronics?

I was just wondering if anyone else has had similar goings on or maybe shed an opinion on the matter?

Hoping it isn't largely serious but of course I always have the warranty to fall back on.

sounds like a mechatronics fault :(
