So I have a Golf MK7 2013 model with around 100k miles( it is a 5-speed manual, 1.2 TSI ) . I got it used like 4 months ago. And I had no issues until few days ago.
I was parked and I went out with reverse normally, had a few minutes drive and parked at my home. Wanted to fix position a little by backing up, i have put my transmission into reverse and then nothing happened, acts like its neutral, sicne clutch does not seem to engage, and engine still runs. So then i tried driving normally in 1st gear and it worked, also clutch acts normal in 1st gear, does not feel like there is anything different than normal, the same thing is for the manual, does not seem to feel any different, except for the fact that reverse acts as neutral (funilly enough electrocnics does understand i try to go into reverse; well at least PDC activates normally and side mirrors tilt).I bought it at a car dealership, and i did get some kind of limited warranty for a year. But because of some law uncertainties in my country the warranty from the dealership is by a 3rd party company, so I have to wait a few days for the specified repair shop to even start checking it.
I wonder if any have an idea what could be the culprit here, should i expect it to be major repair or just something minor? Mostly I am thinking a lot while waiting, it is my first car and it is quite unsettling to run into problems so fast,
