PRNDS flashing during driving and car moves slow

[NareshKumar]

Hi All,

 

My car is: Skoda Octavia Hatch 5Dr Eleg 5dr 2.0 TDI PD 140 DSG Automatic (2005-05)

 

I have a strange issue PRNDS flashing when I am driving (not every time), not sure any one comes across this situation.

 

When I am driving it is happening rarely (monthly 2 to 3 times) PRNDS flashing and car is moving very slow (10 to 15 miles per hour). I have to stop engine and restart and drive.

 

When I restart engine no issues, it will go very smooth without any issues. 

 

Thanks.

Sounds like a problem with your mechatronics unit in the gearbox.

 

Get it scanned for fault codes with VCDS.

Hi All,

 

Mechanic said that Gear Box problem.

 

But I don't agree, as I can re produce same problem (while driving raise accelerator and immediately before car move (mine is diesel car) remove leg from pedal), by doing that I will get PRNDS when car changing 3^rd gear to 4^th gear.

 

I am thinking issue with exhaust or something else. But I am having very less knowledge about cars.

 

Any one has any idea?

Its a problem related to the gearbox,either let your mechanic fix it or take it to another garage if you want a second opinion,its nothing to do with your exhaust.

Hi Mikey,

 

Would like to get more confirmations...

 

If it is a problem with gear box, if I don't raise accelerator and down, I ever get PRNDS. Do we think it is still gear box problem.

 

 

Thanks.

Yes,take your car to somebody who knows what they are doing with a DSG box so they can do the correct diagnosis & either replace the faulty part or if required the gearbox,no need for 2 threads about the same issues.

Thanks.

 

Need some suggestion from experts on -This car already went to 100K. Is it worth to spend another £500 to repair? OR run as long as it can and scrap?

 

Thanks.
