Hey, thanks for your quick reply! My last oil change was at 95000 km, so around 1800 km ago. I haven't had any services done since then either. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with my problem, but I thought I'd throw it out there. I'll definitely check out the transmission fluid idea. Sounds like a good start, thank you!

Hi again, no problem, always happy to help! It looks like the last oil change should be relatively recent, 1800 km ago, but you never know. Depending on where and how you drive, the wear can go faster. I think checking the transmission oil pressure would be a good step, that sounds like a realistic cause. Maybe your transmission also has a small leak that is causing the pressure to drop. But in any case, keep us posted and let us know what the garage says. Good luck and step on the gas!

Hi mate, I once had a similar problem with my Skoda Superb, which is only a few years older (built in 2012). I'm not an expert, but I'd say I have average experience with cars. At my garage I was told that the gearbox oil level was too low. After they filled in fresh oil and checked a few other things, my car was running smoothly again. The bill for this was 365 euros. Can you maybe give a bit more info about your car? For example, how long has it been since the last oil change or service? That way I could try to help you even better. I hope this helps you a little!
