Mind share with us the steps to "blind the computer"? I had driven my Superb for >106K coming to 3 years. Hopefully will not see this problem.

This morning my Oct Tour gear box was locked and unable to change gear in Tampines Giant. I could start the engine but unable to move the gear, almost need to tow it to workshop, luckily I contacted Philip from Servotronic to assist me to blind the computer and unlock the gear, so that I can drive to workshop to replace the faulty brake switch which was cost me $70.00. (Thank Philip) I had driven for 52,000km in 2 1/4 years, this is the first breakdown.

 

had a tody 1.6SR auto, mechanically identical to your Tour

for 5 years and 170,000 km travelled, no problems with the gearbox.

 

the only prob i had was the gearbox fluid leak caused by my aftermarket ATF cooler, which i won't do again.

 

oh, and i change my ATF every 30k km...

Tody quality is much better than OCT Tour!

[Fluffy]

honestly, i think Skodas are better built, though plastics are harder.

the gearbox probably comes from the same place, so it doesn't matter how assembles it.

 

u change your ATF often?

 

when i had my Tody, i loved to redline the bugger...heh heh...

[Kongkm]

What is ATF?

[Fluffy]

ATF - Auto Transmission Fluid

So far no, may need to change at 60,000Km service.
