It's only seems to show the gear number in S mode, no idea why Skoda have done this!

That D only letter is soo annoying for me also...

[KenONeill]

It's quite usual for an auto box (so I imagine a DSG too) to only show D when in an automatic mode.

My t4 Volvo just shows d also.so I think it is common now and not a problem to me.

I find this very frustrating, not knowing what gear the car is using in D mode so that if you manually drop a gear you don’t know what gear you will get. There should at least be a way to change the display to show the gear.

Drive it in the Sport mode and you will have a gear indicator

Surely if you feel you need to manually drop a gear you do it. No need to know which gear you're going to get.

If you use the paddles to change you get a M and the gear number anyway.

Who uses the paddles anyway. Waste of plastic. When the box shifts and down shifts faster than a human , why bother. Want more control , get a manual. 

[Berisford]

I disagree, bring back the numbers, it's no bad thing to know which gear you are in.

 

As for the paddles, again, I disagree that they are superfluous .

 

The box might be quick (sometimes not so quick, especially when it predicts the next change should be up and I want down) but the ability to choose the right gear for an upcoming manoeuvre and get the measure of how much oomph is available under my right foot is something I like.

Option to change gears manually is a must. It saved me a few times when driving offroad and on some muddy roads. In D i was not moving at all .. wheels was just turning in mud. When i selected M1 i was driving out normally.

What did you expect? Driving a automatic in them conditions are going to course problems.can I suggest to use a bit of grey matter ie a brain.when driving in them conditions? Any idiot would tell you to use manual gear changing in them conditions.suprises me how thick people are.

 That attitude is not useful Joss - you may be new to the forum but please consider that the poster you responded to was only making a comment about using manual mode.

They usually give themselves away by the way they speak and write which limits the surprises.
