Seat Ibiza 1.4 tsi ibiza cupra dsg. no drive when auto is engaged. very slow in semi auto mode , no noises from engine or gearbox.

Could be either and usually expensive .You will need to get it scanned with suitable equipment like Vagcom software to check fault codes

Ahhh, ok. Also 3rd and 5th gears not engaging properly if at all. Was told it could be the mineral oil needs topping up in gearbox ? as there is a small oil patch on floor , about 4" diameter ?.

Could well be , worth checking . An oil leak will often be far worse when diving and under pressure . Hope it just needs topping up and the cause of the leak is not too serious .

Having it checked by an automatic gearbox specialist tomorrow. Heard it could be 1 of the clutches gone. So get it fixed and sell it i think. Thanks for the feedback.

That box can be a nightmare . Make sure the automatic gearbox specialist is certified / accredited as there are a lot of cowboys about who say they are " specialists " Oil leak is another issue and wont usually be caused by a clutch pack worn .

Its the only place , apart from SEAT that would entertain this box tbh.

Fingers crossed it not anything major .

Update. Clutch completely shot. £1600 with original seat replacement parts ?

Thanks for update , sorry to hear it was such a big hit on the pocket , but par for the course with that transmission unfortunately .
