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

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, 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
