Mine was doing this a  few months back.

Turned out to be the linkage. Cost around £40 and got my mate to fit it for £20

go to the breakers by the complete motor and linkage assy lube it all up and it's straight forward to swap, I can give you a hand for a small fee im only in pontypridd.

I use AH Griffiths in llantrisant, or all spares in taffs well, or pengam partmart near blackwood, just depends what they have in stock really

When mine went in my MK4 the linkage had seized which in turn caused the motor to burn out so needed a new motor (cheap as chips off ebay) and linkage (local VAG supplier). I managed to replace them myself with a bit of common sense and some tools

It wasnt hard.

could be linage seized up, my octavia had it whwn i bourght it 

99% will be the linkage - very common. Might be able to unseize it if not may need a new one -IIRC cost 38 from VW.

Defo the linkage had the same problem on mine couple years ago
