  1. I have undone the bleed valve to aid the movement of the piston, I am sure I read to do this in order to prevent damage maybe to the ABS unit?
  2. Yes, the water pump was replaced along withy a good will gesture of 60% by Skoda UK, hope this helps. The aux pump was initially replaced but the main pump was leaking slightly.

  4. What's grey and comes in pints?.............................. an elephant
  5. Imbeciles on the M25 with absolutely no lane discipline, obviously lanes 1 and 2 are optional these days !!!!
  6. Hi Guys, at the risk of being a duffer how easy is it to replace and where is it located please? Ta lots, Mac
  7. I have an 09 Vrs Tsi, in consultation now with Skoda UK, vehicle has just done 23k. High pitched whine like a dry idler gear moreso when the engine is hot,initially thought to be the aux water pump but not the case now. Fingers crossed for a happy ending !
  8. Off there tomorrow, please no rain !!!
  9. Unfortunately not,although I will take this up with Skoda UK as the car has very few miles on it.
  10. Hi All, I have an issue which involves my auxiliary water pump. It is making a whining noise (like a drying out idler ). It varies in volume but is there a majority of the time. My dealer (Parkview in Reading) diagnosed the fault and I will monitor the noise short term as it is not felt to be terminal at this stage. £130 plus fitting was a bit of a shock on a 23k car. Some mention on VW forums of this snag and my dealer said they have replaced a couple already. Has anyone else suffered from this issue? How was it resolved? Many thanks in advance Regards Mac
  11. Try the pollen filter, I replace ours regularly as it caused ours to condensate when even marginally dirty
  12. Thanks Guys, reckon mine is still on the originals 3 years on ! Best I get them sorted Regards Mac
  13. Hi All, Loads of views but no feedback, please advise if poss. Thanks, Mac
  14. I can whole heartedly recommend Parkview,excellent set up.
  15. Hi All, Could you please appraise me of which spark plugs fit the Tsi Vrs, the change interval and ease of the job please? Many thanks Regards Mac
