After picking up my brand new Cupra 300 ST 4Drive DSG today and driving it to the grocery store this happend:

”Gearbox in emergency mode, reverse gear is out of service”.

The orange oil/engine lamp lit up and a big yellow warning triangel. When I put the car in reverse and give it gas, nothing happends :(

How is it broken after driving only 2km?

That’s extremely unlucky. Straight back to the dealer I think as there is absolutely no way that should have happened.

Lovely looking car you have, hope the issue doesn’t sour the moment for you too much.

Got word from my dealer this Monday. SEAT factory is shipping a completely NEW gearbox (approx. 2 weeks) to them to replace in my car.

Meanwhile the car salesman is borrowing me his 2018 Cupra ST to drive around in :) Good service!
