Skoda Roomster Diesel Automatic Transmission Problems
Summary of the thread
A 2010 Skoda Roomster diesel is experiencing issues with the check engine and transmission indicator lights illuminated, along with gearbox slipping, unclean shifting, and grinding noises. These symptoms suggest a defective automatic transmission torque converter lock-up clutch, especially given the car's high mileage. The problem was confirmed by a workshop, and the solution involved replacing the faulty torque converter to prevent further transmission damage.

Yes, an error was stored in the error memory. Grinding noises when shifting gears were also present. Was your issue definitively a torque converter clutch problem? What was the resolution in your case?

Affirmative, the workshop confirmed it was the torque converter. The symptoms you describe, particularly the grinding, are consistent with my experience. The best course of action might be a visit to a workshop with experience in auto transmission diagnostics and repair. Continuing to drive with a suspected torque converter clutch problem could cause further damage to the auto transmission.

Thank you for the confirmation. I took it to a trusted workshop and it turns out the torque converter was indeed defective. The auto transmission converter was replaced, and the total transmission repair cost came to 2120€. Hopefully, this resolves the engine surge issues as well.

I have a Roomster as well, though I haven't explicitly checked the build year. I encountered similar symptoms some time ago check engine light, transmission indicator, and what I would describe as unclean shifting. Could be the torque converter clutch problem. Have you scanned for error codes? That's always my first step.
