Hi and thanks for uploading this content, I own a 16 plate octavia hatchback 1.4 tsi, dsg box and I was worried at times that this could be a costly fix but you put my worries at ease 😅 . It pops up every now and then, when I had extended warranty in place with Arnold Clark I asked them to look into the matter and they couldn't find anything even tho I provided a picture of the error pop up and they said they can't fix something that it's not broken...now it's doing my headin every few weeks
Hey thanks for the comment this would be the fix for that fault and they would also find a fault code in 0016 steering control module, part number is in the description if your selector lever matches this video. Many thanks for your kind words :)
I’ve just added the right micro switch from tps but hasn’t worked. No fault codes after deleting
Thanks for the video. I just installed the micro switch yesterday and it works like charm, so no annoying alarms after more than six months. The dealership here in Hungary wanted 1000 eur for the fix. (I guess they wanted to swap the whole gear selector). Anyways a huge thank you for your help.
Hey Thankyou for the comment your absolutely welcome and I’m glad my little channel could save you quite a lot of money :)
Hi Rob,
Thank you is not enough to you. I’ve just fitted one to my Octavia 😅 Thanks again
Thankyou so much for the kind feedback and of course the super thanks that means the world to me that your sorted and a fraction of the price of what it would of been if you hadn’t of seen this video….again Thankyou so much and it would also mean the world if you could share my channels there maybe someone else in the world like yourself that hasn’t discovered me yet :)
Can this mistake "only leave vehicle in P position" cause any damage to the gearbox?
It apears on my škoda octavia 2018 1.6 TDI, I run a diagnostick and it says it is b116229 position lever 😮.
Great video by the way.
Thanks for the comment I appreciate it massively and nope it won’t damage the gearbox it’s just very annoying and yeah you’ll see that fault code in control module 0016
@@TheVWMechanic_official thank you very much for quick answer, appreciate it.
@melvispehlic9451 your absolutely welcome buddy
Thanks for the video. I fitted the new microswitch this afternoon and all seems fine - no error messages! Dealer wanted £106 plus vat just to diagnose the fault then more dosh to fix it. Fix cost me £36. Found it a bit tricky working in the tight area around the gear lever but worth the effort.
Hey buddy I’m glad I could help you save some money that’s the aim of what I do :) Thankyou so much for the feedback and happy motoring again
any links to the part for octavia vrs ?
This video was filmed on an Octavia VRs
Could this issue cause the 645 relay to get hot. I have this code and my 645 relay gets noticeably hotter than all other relays. Also seems to throw more codes the hotter the relay gets
It’s not known to be related to this buddy
I have a 2017 skoda fabia monte carlo with this problem. I took into skoda yesterday. They had it for the day and called up saying its going to cost £1900 to fix the issue. Needs a whole new leaver assembly to fix the fault switch lol. There are no issues with the gearing at all. Drives perfectly. Had it from new with only 21k miles on the clock. Crazy repair cost.
How much does this part fix cost?
It could be because this part isn’t available for the selector lever fitted into your vehicle
@TheVWMechanic_official Thanks for the reply buddy, very much appreciated. Ur fix looks ideal. However, it's a little tight on this model to get the new switch in.
Had the car from new and we have only done 21k miles. Crazy price to fix it. £1799
@TheVWMechanic_official this is my setup when the top housing removed th-cam.com/video/7iQ437zupMY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2m_uuoUEbcKGrj3O
Hi.There good video just wondering what size of torx is needed for screw on the gearbox
Hey thanks for the message and it’s a t10 torkz
Can you fix this for me mate I live in Cambridgeshire. I can come to you . Thanks .
Hello. I am from India and I too, like many other users was facing Error B116229 - Leave car in park. I bought 5Q0-713-128-A from ebay and fixed it in my Skoda Octavia. However, it made the problem worse. Moreover, it was a static fault rather than a intermittent fault which I had originally. I checked the mounting and both the connections and I found them in locked properly. I have since reverted to original connection. What do you suggest I should do? Did I get a faulty microswitch?
Was at a genuine part of a copy/non genuine part
@@TheVWMechanic_officiali bought it off ebay and the box says its made in romania. There are Volkswagen audi logos in the part itself. How can I make sure if it is genuine?
Afternoon afternoon afternoon 😂😂
Arghhhhhh fitted the booming gen vw Skoda black switch to the black casing on my 2014 Octavia 2.0 tdi , And dam error is still coming on, mostly opening door 1st thing in the AFTERNOON 🫣or rear doors, ding ding & 3 mins later another ding. While driving then 2 days free of dings if am lucky Driving me nuts. Any other investigation I can do, vcds fault codes in auto & steering,
Just a quick note loads of a yellow sponge all round my black casing took my ages to remove
Hey mate what fault codes are logged in system
@@TheVWMechanic_official put it all back together & it’s not dinged so far, need to do another scan mate, will let you know. Thanks for reply pal 👍👍
I need help with this. My usual garage quoted over £1000 to replace entire system and said there was no other way. This seems another way. I am in North London and a bit of an old lady so could do with recommendation of a garage that might do this.
Any garage can do this :) the part number is in the video description and very very easy to fit so their is no need to replace the whole selector unit
@@TheVWMechanic_official thank you so much.
Your absolutely welcome :)
On your video you can really see how you connect microswitch. In minute 2 of the installation it would help if you provide visual guides where you connect what.
It’s just in a loop buddy you can see the plug that needs to come out and it’s the same looking plug that goes in
@@TheVWMechanic_official I dont quite understand from the video. So you actually remove something and replace it with microswitch?
I’ll do an extra video when I get one in buddy
Hi thanks for the video - I'm here as I have the same issue - 2019 vRS Octavia - same as in the video - you seem to undo a screw on the left at the top of the black plastic unit, the video is so fast I couldn't work out why this was done - can you remember? I appreciate it's been a while :)
Hey buddy I’m gunna have to do another video haha it’s been far to long but add me on instagram matey @thevwmechanic_official and you can send me pics and I can talk you thru it
I have a Octavia vrs 2016 place 4x4, would this remove the Error: workshop! Only leave vehicle in Position P' issue.
If the diagnosis confirms this would fix it then your winning :)
@@TheVWMechanic_official I don't understand, should I get it diagnosed?
Just trying this fix now but I must be doing something wrong. Fitted the microswitch but if I then move the lever to park in still getting the original error plus 'Error: gearbox' and the lever is locked in park. Only way to resolve is to remove the microswitch.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Message me on instagram with photos or videos of how you’ve fitted it all buddy @thevwmechanic_official
@@TheVWMechanic_official Thanks, I will give it another go at the weekend and document what I do.
Hi, great video thanks, subbed! My golf is throwing an engine light some days when I start it up, drives fine otherwise. The error code is P0914 - Gear shift position circuit, I have no idea where to start in order to fix this, do you think doing this fix might work for me even though I dont have the Error Leave in Park? Thanks in advance.
Hey thanks for the message buddy I’ve only seen this fault before when it’s been a gear selector lever fault but I always carry out wiring checks and diagnostics into the issue , thanks for the sub to it really means the world to me
thank you for the video, what would be the part number for Octavia 2019 (gen 4)?
Hey buddy compatibility would need to be checked by your local dealer
Hi bud, does the ZF or 3Q0-713-128 A… Switch only apply to 2017 FL onwards as seen in the video. Am needing one for 2014 Octavia 2.0L. This error is dinging on/off every blinking 3 mins 😢arghhh😢
Any chance you could advise if you’d change water bottle to non silicon one ? as air con is cold drivers sides but passenger sides luke warm. Heater working ok tho so far. Just bought the car last week, ahhh the joys…. Timing belt /water pump & DSG oil getting done Monday
So i got this error in a Octavia 4. Says it has something to do with the gear shifter button not being in park mode. Do you know if this switch that works on Octavia 3 can fix the problem in the 4th generation or there is no other solution except changing the whole button mechanism. Much apreciated for your answer!
No mate the repair for the mk3 does not cross over to the mk4
Thank you for the reply and info bud! Great channel you have here. Guess i'll set this damn Skoda on fire and get rid of it and all its problems 😂😂😂(not going to pay over 1000 euro for a damn button )@@TheVWMechanic_official
Ive been quoted £160 for the job is that reasonable? Its a £40 part and 15 minute job by the looks.
In my opinion it’s reasonable yeah
Hi Rob, Thanks for the excellent video, Just one question, should the top screw in the slot be tightened on completion, or left as it came out of the box, and the top peice move against the spring when pushing the gear lever forward into Park position ? Thanks 🙂
Hey thanks for the question the little piece that slides when you fit it should be tightened once your all fitted and in the correct position
@@TheVWMechanic_official Brilliant Thanks 🙂
Hi, can you please show where everything plugs in. You showed how to install the microswitch but not where it plugs in. Thanks
Hey so you install it in a loop so you unplug the selector unit (black plug with a bright blue slide tab on it) and then connect the new microswitch into the existing wiring to form the loop
I am in Australia and out of warranty. How can I get the part number?
In the description of this video if the selector lever that you have is the same as the one in the video
Thanks for this! Would this be under warranty? 2 year old octavia showing it
Terms and conditions will always apply to warranty matey but should all point to a manufacturer defect then there should be no reason it wouldn’t be sorted for you under the warranty
Hi m8, hey tell me something. So I have the same problem I fitted the micro switch but it still tells me to put it in p or n to start the engine like before and it tells me this every time the glow plug light flashes, if I leave the car a few hours and the light stops flashing the engine will turn over and I can drive the car. Any ideas of what could it be...
Hey mate it needs diagnosing as it could end up costing you more just firing parts at it
My car keeps saying something about done exit car unless in park but it’s in park and turned off and the little exclamation mark comes up and my trunk wouldn’t pop open I just bought this car it’s a 2019 Jetta 67,000 miles atm I’m beyond annoyed doesn’t seem to be doing anything else strange but I’m worried and of course the dealership is if no help and can’t get me in for weeekkksss
So it’s more than likely coming up with the fault on the dash that you can see in the thumbnail to this video
Hi - After doing this fix does anything need to be done with VCDS or equivalent or does it just fix the issue?
Hey thanks for the comment nope nothing needs doing it’s just plug and play
Is the 5Q0 part for 2018+? I have a 2016 Octavia and i saw a part number with 500. The rest is the same.
If your lever looks the same as the one in the video buddy there’s a good chance it will work….i just filmed it on a 2018 vehicle
Hi mate/ My 2015, 1.2 DSG Fabia is giving me the same error. Can you please advise if this part will be compatible with the Fabia as well or what part number I should be looking for. Would really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.
Hey thanks for the message are you able to drop me a pm on instagram @thevwmechanic⚙️ so much easier to help you on there :)
Would the part fit a 2017 skoda Fabia?
The lever would need to be checked to confirm matey
Can this become a big issue if you leave it?
Nope not really it’s more of an annoyance worst case it can allow you to remove your keys from Ignition without it being in park and if you forget your handbrake it could lead to your car rolling away
my mate has a 2015 seat leon fr and he has 'leave car in p contact workshop' will this fix the issue?
Yep if it’s the same gear lever as shown in the video buddy
Hi i fitted the swtich as per video can i say very helpful. But still have to pull lever back to neutral then back to park and give the lever a wiggle to start car. No codes present any advuce thanks.
Car is a 2015 octavia vrs. TIA.
Hey thanks for the message that’s great :) it sounds like it’s not quite close enough to the lever there are 2 screws on the top of it to bring the switch closer to the lever so you don’t have to wiggle or anything give that a try
I get this fault occasionally now I seem to get that the park pilot is not available, it was intermittently happening now the park pilots is most of the time I put in reverse could it be this switch?
I think you’ve got 2 faults there buddy
Hi, I live in Birmingham, my car is a 2018 model with the same issue, could you fix it, please? And price please?
Hey I got your email aswell I don’t fix em as side jobs mate I don’t have time as work family life and content creating don’t leave me with any spare that’s why I created the video :)
That's really good video.
I'm having same issue with jetta 21 same warning.
Can it be the same?
Yeh it could be the same buddy and thanks for the kind words :)
@@TheVWMechanic_officialsorry I didn't show the full story of mine.
I'm locksmith dom an AKL just didn't do the programming right.
Had to reprogram the prox again correctly.
Then everything went right.
How do you know if you need this while or black microswitch part? (without opening your own to look)
You would need to Atleast lift the handbrake gaitor to see which lever is fitted into your vehicle
@@TheVWMechanic_official so it doesnt depend on what dsg gearbox you have?
More
To do with the lever buddy
Hi, I’ve looked up the part number don’t have much confidence in doing this anyway but my question is does it have to be a vw/Skoda part. Or are the unbranded ones suitable on eBay about £35
Is it easy to do as can’t see a huge amount of what you do, I’ve a rapid spaceback
Many thanks 🙏🏻
I wouldn’t use a non branded one as I don’t trust em buddy so would recommend genuine however can’t comment on rapid never done one on a rapid but I imagine it’s the same as a fabia
Thanks for responding, mines a rapid spaceback and it says error workshop only leave vehicle in position p same gearbox I think as has yellow tab, so hopefully it’s the right part 🙏🏻 doesn’t come up all the time it’s very intermittent. But appreciate your reply and video as was panicking it’s the gearbox on the way out as only just done meca tronics (sorry probably spelt incorrectly 😂)
My daughters 2016 Fabia has started doing this. She’s going to struggle to pay for an official repair. What would you recommend?
This repair is hugely cheaper than a new selector unit, the part number is in the description have a Google and see the price of it :)
@@TheVWMechanic_official Thanks for posting this! Will this work on the 2015 Fabia? Whenever I search the part online the only Skoda model it mentions is Octavia.
Hi Rob
I have just got this message on my 2016 4x4 diesel superb lhd. Are these micro switches the same for both lhd and rhd cars? TIA
Hey buddy yeh same microswitch regardless of left hand or right hand drive :) thanks for the comment
How easy is the seat Leon cupra mk3 to do thanks
If the part is available for a seat buddy it’s quite easy to fit
Does this swtich stopnit from starting as i have to wiggle the gear lever to make it start thanks.
Not usually matey have you had the codes read to see if there’s something more in it
Hi
Just fitted the microswitch on my 2019 octavia and I'm still getting the fault am I missing something or do I need to se up
Paul
Have you put the lever in park and pushed the new microswitch button upto the lever and tightened the bolts so the actual gearstick is Engaging the new little switch
@@TheVWMechanic_official
Yes done that also tried it removed and pressed the switch could it be a faulty swith.
It could well be a fault with the new switch buddy you can send me a picture of what you’ve done to r90jra@gmail.com and I can have a look
@@TheVWMechanic_official
Ok will do tomorrow
Not a problem buddy please bare with me this weekend as I will be moving home
I have bought a Skoda octavia vrs dsg, and it won’t go in park, would any one be able to give me some information on this.
Hey thanks for the question, does the vehicle physically not move into park or does the selector shift into park but the gearbox itself not recognise park…could you give me more information please
Hi.very nice video.thanks from Sweden .i have sköda Octavia 2015 model 1.6 TDI ,dsg gear box with yellow colour thing inside can you please share product number?Thanks
Hey many thanks for the comment If it matches the gear selector in this video the part number is in the description
Hi I have a octovia 2017 plate .could you please help with part number as I’m having this error message
Hey buddy thanks for the message the part number for this video is in the description of the video
I have the leave in park issue however SKODA dealer advises I have to replace the complete unit which will cost roughly £900 fitted I have a 2017 Superb 2L Petrol Auto DSG ... is there a work around switch solution or are there some Superb models that cannot use this please ? Last question if there is a fix will the switch need to be recoded by a main dealer ? many thanks.
Hey I am unable to check this for you as I don’t have acess to skoda systems only Volkswagen but I can’t say I’ve replaced one just the microswitch on a passat which is a skoda superb
@@TheVWMechanic_official Thanks so much for the quick response, my local gearbox guys say they don't know how to fix it so at the moment its £900 or doesn't get fixed which is crazy after the US ,Australian and NZ govt made VAG recall cars. If anyone has ideas who can help would appreciate it as i need to sort it before it gets worse. Maybe a video for the SKODA guys and I can drive up and you can show me your hairy knees !
Can you help me to find the correct recharge for my vw passat b7 2011 dsg. I have the same problem but i dont't know how to find the correct because the spare parts dealer told me that in italy nobody sell only the microinterructor but all the leverage of dsg(1000€).
I hope you can help me with the correct code for my car.
Thanks a lot
This part is not available for your vehicle this is for the newer style dsg levers
@@TheVWMechanic_official do you know if there's something like this for my type of dsg?
Hi, Ive had this message appear intermittantly for 3years (golf mk7), more recently ive had an issue one morning where ive had error gearbox, an hour later it worked, error was U010300 lost communication with gear shift module. Do you think this fix could fix all my problems?
Hey thanks for the message so from what you’ve said you’ve actually experienced 2 different faults, this one detailed in this video will always have the fault code stored in 0016 steering control and the fault your experienced with loss of comms is another issue
@@TheVWMechanic_official thanks so much for the answer, that really helps. Do you know if an independent could replace a vw golf dsg gear shift module, or will a dealership be needed in order to programme codes?
Your absolutely welcome and a good independent garage should have no problems replacing your selector unit for you :)
Hi this is happening on my Seat Leon, how do I know which part number is the correct one for my car? Thankyou
Have you got the same lever as shown in this video?
I wouldn’t say the same no, i have to pull the lever down and left into manual mode so I’m guessing it’s different to this one if that’s how you mean mate.
Most dsg levers have a manual mode buddy message me on Instagram (TheVWMechanic) if that’s easier
I'm getting this fault on my 67 reg Octavia 1.4tsi DSG. Would it be same part number for my vehicle? Cheers. Do you have information of where to buy one.
Tps or your local skoda dealership is the best place. Make sure your happy with the diagnosis before fitting wouldn’t want you to waste money :)
@@TheVWMechanic_official Thanks for your help 👍
No problem at all….if you have this gear lever and need the part number it’s in the video description
Hi Rob,
I've purchased my microswitch. Before I fit it (probably one day next week), what is entailed to do the reset procedure once it is fitted!. All help appreciated
Hey buddy, that’s great news head over to the TechAutomotive Instagram page and you can dm there it will be a lot easier and faster for me to talk you thru it :)
hi rob do you have one in stock i need it urgently can come today or tomorrow
Hey buddy I don’t hold stock if I was buying em it would be thru work or TPS
Hi Mike, Thanks from Gothenburg. I own a Octavia 2019 1,0Tsi DSG. I get this error message randomly and dis appears in few seconds. 'only leave vehicle in position p. please visit workshop'. The dealer asks for 200 Pounds to diagnose and the add on cost for repair/replacement. Is it mandatory to fix it?. Or can i drive the car safely without fixing it?. It doesnt affect anything with engine or transmission right?.
Hey thanks, I’ve just finished work so I can reply now :) it won’t cause any driving issues as such but it won’t recognise park position so you could in theory remove your keys without it being In park but other than that it’s just an annoying warning that flashes on the dash a lot
@@TheVWMechanic_official Thank you so much for your quick response. Really appreciate it. So the car is safe and reliable to use. Then I will avoid spending 200+ pounds with Skoda service.
Yeah it won’t cause any adverse effects except for what I’ve said above :)
Awesome 👌, great work Rob 👍
Thankyou for the kind words buddy and it was fantastic to meet you and I love your car buddy it’s beautiful
Lovely to meet you in person to,thanks for the kind words regarding the car,it is a nice motor 😀

hi,
I have a skoda octavia with a dsg gearbox, I can drive it 2 or 15 miles then I am getting a error gearbox message come up on my dashboard goes out but leave an orange triangle warning ⚠️ light on but the car isn't driving any differently?? don't know if you could throw any light on this matter.
thanks in advance

Good evening, hope your well once the orange triangle is illuminated on your dash if your press the car button on your radio screen it will then show reports and a number next to it if you click on that it will show you what issue the car is seeing. Hope this helps give me a shout if you need any more hell

I will give this a try the next time it happens and get back to you thanks very much 👍
No problem at all like I say an issues please comment on here I always reply :)
I was driving the car last night when the error gearbox light came on went into car settings it didn't really tell me alot
Hello, it’s for 7° DSG? I have Skoda Octavia 1.5 TSI 2018

Hey Thankyou for the kind words I’ve got your email and I’ll respond when I’ve got a minute :)
@@TheVWMechanic_official Thanks
Hi Rob,
The part you mentioned has to be added to stop this msg coming. It means not replacing old one? Am I right?
You essentially add the new microswitch into the existing wiring which in turn removes the function of the original microswitch without physically taking the broken microswitch out the lever
Thank you so much
God blesses you all
Hi could you do me the repair if possible
Glad your on the way to being sorted buddy
You need to wax those legs mate, they have more hair than Steve’s head 😂
Love this Bants
How to remove this panel without breaking ?
Do you mean the gear selector surround?
@@TheVWMechanic_official i meen ''carbon panel". how do I get to the speed selector without tearing the plastic. it looks very easy on the video, but it won't be easy for me to take it off.
Be very gentle and just take your time it will come up with little force
@@TheVWMechanic_official thank you 😁
Your absolutely welcome
What’s a point of doing video if you’re not going to talk through it.apart from advertising for your services
In the most polite way possible because it’s my channel and I can do my videos how I want and I’m showing the repair while also talking thru bits of it and also showing I’m helping out a subscriber so that’s value added whereas your looking for something for free and you probably don’t even subscribe to the channel so please think of the bigger picture before activating keyboard warrior mode…have a great day
