This is something that happens, particularly if the car has not been used regularly.

The problem is caused by a sticky microswitch but, from personal experience of two cars with that problem, you can safely ignore it providing you are prepared to put up with the warning showing up intermittently.

You may find that the more you use the car the less the warning appears.

Hi Hozz, 

I'm Driving the car 3-4 days a week with over 190kms per day. Almost 1k a week..

It is not so much a question of distance travelled, more a case of how often the gearstick is moved, the more often the less likely the warning appears.

Hi hozz,

It's constantly being used when I'm I'm Dublin  coz I do used my car as a taxi 2-3 × a week

Have the same problem. 2 months out of warranty and 20K. Skoda UK not interested - said talk to your dealer. Given the cost of the fix I'm tempted to keep driving it unless it will cause further harm. Maybe someone more tech savvy than me would care to comment. TIA

Had the fix done today at Hawco, VAG dealer in Inverness. £37 for the switch and £220 labour. I'm happy.
