Grinding noises and irregular gear changes in Skoda Octavia 2015 Diesel

Grinding noise when shifting gears

Transmission slips/shifts erratically

Whining or grinding noises

Hi guys! I have a problem with my Skoda Octavia 2015 diesel that has almost 149T km on it. When changing gear I hear grinding noises and it gets quite erratic/mad as well as yowling/grinding noises that I can't ignore. Last time, the experience with the mechanic was terrible and I'm starting to suspect that the fault may be linked to the transmission oil pressure cooler. Has anyone experienced anything like this with their car? How was your experience at the mechanic? Any help or opinions would be really great! Thank you!

I once experienced something similar with my 2012 Skoda Superb. There was definitely a noise when changing gear that was not normal. I then had to go to the garage. Just in time, as it turned out. The diagnosis was a defective gearshift mechanism. It was a serious matter and could have ended badly as the mileage increased. The mechanic also told me at the time that replacing the transmission oil pressure cooler wouldn't do any harm, but he wasn't sure if that was the main reason. That's why I always work with my regular mechanic, because he never tries to talk me into unnecessary work. Hope this helps you! Take care.

Hey, thanks for sharing your experience, that sounds pretty worrying. Could you remember approximately how much you paid for the repair at the time? Have you noticed any other issues since replacing the transmission oil pressure cooler? Hopefully you haven't had any further inconvenience since everything was fixed. Thanks in advance!

Hey, don't worry, I've been pretty happy since my visit to my mechanic. He fixed the problem with the transmission oil pressure cooler malfunction and everything has been running smoothly ever since. That's why you appreciate your regular mechanic, isn't it? As for the cost, it was cheaper than expected, I only had one faulty fuse that needed replacing, but nothing major. That cost me €60. So nothing that would bankrupt pensioners like me, haha! Take it easy!

Hey, that's really reassuring to hear that there were no more problems after the visit to your mechanic. No doubt, I wish I had a trusted mechanic like that too. Good news about the cost, it sounds very reasonable. Your reply gives me the courage to get it fixed right away. Thanks for the useful info! Take care!
