I have a 2020 MK 3 Octavia SEL 1.5 manual  petrol with 8500miles, bought new March 2020.

I am having difficulty in getting a smooth gearchange sometimes not going in to gears straight away, and sometimes a jerky take up of drive.

The clutch pedal seems high as there is not much travel before clutch engages. It has been back to dealer but 'no fault found'. I have had Skoda's since 1987

and never had any issues with any clutch/gearbox. My previous Octavia was  2016 1.4 (150PS) petrol manual and was a dream to drive. It is due a service next month and 

will try a different dealer the question I am asking is there anything specific I can  ask them to check ?

Thanks.

There’s a lot of reports of 1.5 tsi flat spots/difficult to set off smoothly problems. I believe there is a software update for the engine management that improves it. A Skoda dealer should know. (Hopefully!!).

Have a read of this :
