Skoda Citigo starting problem

My 2019 Skoda Citigo with a gasoline engine won't start, the check engine light is on, and the gearbox shifts badly. The error memory has something stored about the parking position being defective. I think it's the control unit.

Have you checked the transmission sensor and gear linkage? Unclean shifting may indicate transmission issues. Faulty sensor data could prevent starting. Is the gear shifter cable damaged?

How would I check those? Is it something I can do myself?

While it's possible to visually inspect the gear linkage for obvious damage, diagnosing the transmission sensor or control unit requires specialized tools. Given the stored error and symptoms, it's likely an affected control unit. I suggest seeking professional diagnosis and repair. You risk causing more damage otherwise.

The workshop confirmed the control unit was faulty. Cost me around 1000€ to get it sorted.
