Sorry, no idea. :shrug:

Hi, It was a problem with a nylon joint in the gear linkage. I think a bit had snapped off. Can't remember the exact details, but it wasn't an expensive repair. Ended up only costing me about £100 I think. The mechanic I use isn't the **** Turpin type, and as I had given him a good...

Hopefully not. I supplied the slave cylinder, and the ball joint is only £13, so it's really just going to be labour for diagnosing the fault and fitting the parts. :) Johnny

Eventually found out what the problem was, but thanks for your reply. Car eventually gave up the ghost altogether. Gear selection was like stirring a bucket of bricks. Reverse was first, 5th wasn't there, the rest were a bit of a lottery. Turned out that there was a knackered ball joint in...

I have been having gear selection problems with my 59 plate Altea 1.9 Tdi. I have posted a couple of times and had a few suggestions from folk. Due to lack of immediate funds I haven't been able to get the car into a garage to have it looked at. I have though been using it for short runs...

Hi, I am hoping to possibly get some help before I go to the expense of putting my car into a garage. I have 59 plate Altea 1.9 TDi. For the last few weeks I have been getting intermittent problems getting the car out of and back into gear. It usually happens when I have been doing a motorway...
