Is the ABS system in the Octavia connected in series with the rest of the electronics or something? Why else would the reverse parking sensors refuse to work when one of the rear sensors failed? The DSG was acting funny too. It refused to crawl when the brake is released.

Now, I'm getting an intermittent ABS and ESC error. Same thing is happening with the DSG. Also, the power steering assist seems to be affected too. When the error is there, the steering is slightly harder.

I shot up a mail to the people at Skoda regarding this issue and they asked me to get my car scanned at the service Centre. I did rightly so and the next day I shot up another mail informing them about the same. I got a reply the same day that they have approved to change the assembly free of cost under goodwill warranty.

The whole process was smooth with Skoda for the second time now (last one being the steering jog dial issue) and I hope this kind of service continues to being offered. I'm yet to take out time and send the car to the service station though which is still 2hrs away from my place.

Can you share the email address you contacted regarding the issue.

Sounds like an intermittent fuse issue in the electronics. Get it checked ASAP.

If you are getting these kind of simultaneous errors try getting the battery changed first before getting anything else changed.

I faced a weird issue today. I was driving at around 20 to 25 kmph and the gear selection was in D2. Then there was a shudder and I could sense that the gear is disengaged and there is no response from throttle. Since I was in slow speed and less traffic situation I could move to left side to stop. Then I moved the lever to neutral and put back to drive then it was again back to normal.

This behaviour seems very dangerous. Is it an indication of the DSG failure.

I will take it to service center once I am back in Bangalore.

Is your octavia a petrol? If yes then i am pretty sure that's a DSG issue. because my superb DSG failure started in a similar way and in 3 weeks i had a complete failure. Please get it checked ASAP.
I don't understand why doesn't Skoda solve this issue once and for all. We have owned 3 Skoda cars (2 diesel & 1 petrol) and only petrol the had this issue. Both diesel's have run for almost 1.5lac+ each and never a DSG issue and the petrol went kaput in just 40k and was sold at 63k after a second DSG failure.

Yes mine is 1.8 TSI which has ran about 63.5K kms.

I will be reaching Bangalore tomorrow. Have to drive down 300 kms to Bangalore tomorrow. Monday or Tuesday will be taking it to service centre.

Did you reach? :D Let us know what happened!

My Octy is now at 37k km and I can hear a mild 'puk' sound on some DSG up-shifts (seems to be restricted to 4-5 & 5-6) and only when driven aggressively.

Hope DSG failure not on the cards. Any ideas anyone?

Do you face any shudders along with the sound or only sound?

Keeping fingers crossed. Anyway I have no long drives planned for next 3 months, so it can happily fail in BLR city :-) Max I'll reinforce the 'Avoid a Skoda' saying as I see it being loaded on a low-loader.
