I’ve given a descriptive title to the thread and moved it to the Octavia section where you’ll likely get a better response.

 

At nearly 5 years old and I imagine having sat through CoVID have you checked the battery?

 

A dying battery can cause a whole world of crazy on modern cars and 5 years is not an unreasonable battery life.

OP says the battery has been replaced.

Missed that.

 

As long as it’s a suitable battery and a recode was carried out, then that’s covered.

Thank you,got battery coded in yesterday so hopefully it was that 🙏

@billymac1970 Did the recode solve your issue or still having problems?

Thought I had then it come back turns out moisture got into the gateway canbus so getting that replaced Monday, so hopefully that will be the end of that 🙏

Got gateway canbus fitted.but it's component protected & my local garage hasn't got software to deactivate phoned vw main dealers they can't do it got to go to skoda to get get deactivated. They can't fit me in for 2 months .this is just getting better  better.

Start looking for an independant workshop, ask if they have ODIS and can remove CP from your part.

Had cp removed at skoda .

Now after a month same problem has come back.now have to wait till 7th June to go back.they think it might be wheel sensor but won't know till its scanned.

Does anybody know what at gearbox control unit is ?

Seems to be the problem now .

If you have DSG it's the electronics that controls the DSG gearbox.

Just out of curiosity, were you able to start the car with component protection for canbus activated? I am planning to do the same as my local skoda dealer wouldn't fit canbus i bought from outside. So question is, can i fit the new canbus and drive to dealer to have CP removed and coded?
