You have a fault with the 4x4 system, or possibly with an ABS sensor. You need a good diagnostics unit to get a VAG fault code to progress this.

I replaced the left and right rear bearings and the abs sensor on the left

Need a fault read. Could be haldex pump. But just guessing at your lack of 4x4 drive..

I agree with the suggestion that the problem could be Haldex related. Recommend that you remove the pump and filters and do a fluid change while you are at it. You can test the condition of the pump with a multi meter. Skoda seem to take the view that the Haldex unit is sealed for life and do not incorporate fluid and filter replacement into the maintenance schedule. The fluid degrades over time and the filters become blocked. There are a couple of UK based suppliers, which specialise in Haldex repair and or the supply of Haldex parts / maintenance kits. Let me know if you don’t have a similar supplier in Serbia and I shall supply the links.
