Gear stick on automatic selector cover.

Featured Replies

Fabia 2022 plate. Automatic dsg, The level you press has a cover over the selector. Mines broken so flimsy, I ask skoda if cover under warranty, They said they after do diagnostic £150 to see how broken. They have a replacement £23.50 for a small plastic cover. Any one know where to buy one. Thanks.

I notice that replacement (chrome) DSG-transmission 'trigger-button' covers are marketed for older Skoda models. But I'm pretty sure these would be unsuitable for your 2022-plate car and I think your only source for a new cover would be through a Skoda dealership

It's not unreasonable to expect a Fabia Mk 4's trigger-button cover to last the life of the car. If your Fabia is still within its warranty period, it's also not unreasonable to expect that, if the trigger-button cover breaks, that Skoda should carry out an under-warranty free-of-charge (FOC) repair.

If your car is out of warranty and your Skoda dealership won't carry out a 'good will' no-cost repair, I suggest you contact Skoda Customer Services and complain. Chances are that they'll direct you back to a dealership, but it would still be worth trying.

As a new cover costs 'only' £23.50, if the dealership will fit it FOC, it might be simpler to grit your teeth and take that option rather than risk the £150 diagnostic charge.

Thanks for afvice, Have you a link to Chrome cover

I have a 2024 Fabia Mk 4 with DSG and none of the 'covers' advertised online match the cover fitted to my car's gear-selector lever.

My car's cover is made of shiny black plastic (presumably ABS) and, although the plastic is clearly thin gauge, that doesn't mean it cannot have a long lifespan during normal use.

Your photos suggest that it's a piece of the plastic cover's rear moulding that's broken off (with this piece holding the cover in place on the mechanical 'button') and - I would have thought - it really shouldn't need a £150 diagnosis to decide whether the breakage is more likely to be due to a manufacturing fault (and appropriate for a FOC repair under warranty) rather than being caused by a car driver's misuse.

Did you buy the car from the Skoda dealership that has mentioned the £150 diagnostic 'fee'?

If you have all the bits, would it not be possible to repair it? I notice you-tube has many special glueing videos.

If the 'cover' is made from ABS, it may be practicable to make a repair if a suitable adhesive were used. However, the photo showing the damage

indicates that obtaining an acceptable combination of repair-strength and final appearance would be hard to achieve.

This part should not break in normal use and - if fabia960's car is still under warranty - a Skoda dealership should be expected to replace the cover without quibbling.

Even if the car is out of warranty, as the price quoted for a replacement cover is just £23.50, a 'good will' replacement would not seem (to me) an unreasonable thing to hope for.
