Skoda Octavia automatic transmission problems with the selector lever of the vehicle

Check engine light on

Transmission slips/shifts erratically

Hello everyone, I have a 2015 Skoda Octavia (diesel) with 214567 km on the clock. At the moment I have the problem that the check engine light comes on and the gearbox occasionally jerks or shifts irregularly. After a bad experience at the last mechanic, I suspect it's the gear selector lever. Has anyone had similar problems and can recommend a reliable mechanic or give me tips on what I can do? Thank you!

Hey, I have a 2017 Skoda Fabia, and I had a similar problem with the cable connection on the gear selector. The check engine light was also on and the gearbox was jerking when shifting. At my garage, they found that the cable connection on the gear selector was damaged. The mechanic told me that this can be a serious problem because a damaged cable connection affects the communication between the selector lever and the transmission. They repaired the damaged area and replaced the cable connection. Since then, everything has been running smoothly again. Maybe that will help you. Find a good workshop that is familiar with Skoda and have it checked. Good luck!

Hey, thanks for your reply! That sounds pretty much like what's going on with my Octavia. Do you remember how much the repair cost you? And did you have any problems afterwards or did everything run smoothly again? Best regards

Hey, sure, I can tell you: the repair cost me a total of €365. The problem was actually the damaged cable connection on the gearbox selector lever. Since I went to the mechanic and had it fixed, my Skoda Fabia has been running smoothly again. No more jerks when changing gear and the engine indicator light stays off. I hope this information helps you and you can get your Octavia back in shape quickly! Best regards

Hey, thanks for the info! That definitely helps me. I will definitely visit a mechanic and have the cable on the selector lever checked. I'll see if I can find someone who can do it for a fair price. Your amount still sounds reasonable. Keep your fingers crossed that it goes just as smoothly for me! Best regards and thanks again for the help!
