Hello Just bought an Octavia 2001 1.9 tdi with an automatic gearbox fault it has done 180k but runs lovely.

The car will go into reverse the reversing lights will come on, but there is no drive at all,

How true is is I don't know may but previous owner said it was fine until he had a new exhaust fitted,

so I don't know if there is a sensor or linkage that may have been damaged during fitting.

As of yet the weather has been too bad to get under the car and investigate.

Any Ideas Please?

Thanks Andy.
