Seat Ibiza Automatic Transmission Problems

I'm having issues with my 2007 Seat Ibiza with a gasoline engine. It has 158482 km on it. The automatic transmission is acting up. Shifting is not right, the transmission indicator light is on, and it feels stuck in emergency mode. I suspect the automatic transmission oil is worn out, maybe from undervoltage. Has anyone experienced something similar?

Sounds like a slipping transmission. I had similar transmission performance issues with my old Peugeot, but no transmission indicator light. Have you checked the transmission fluid level?

Fluid level seems okay. Could it be worn out even if the level's right? Is a transmission flush the way to go?

Yes, even if the level is fine, old hydraulic fluid can cause issues. It caused some really rough shifting for me. A transmission flush might help, but get it checked by a workshop. Emergency mode sounds serious.

It was the transmission oil. A transmission flush and new hydraulic fluid fixed it. Undervoltage was affecting the transmission. Total cost was 240€. It shifts like new now. Thanks for the advice.
