Hello, I have Octavia l&k 2005... recently it has started giving a grinding noise only during deceleration... the moment I hit gas pedal or press the clutch, the noise goes away... I have got the complete axle repaired and replaced the bearings and joints... please suggest guys what could be the probable cause...

I think u r right mate... it could be a blockage... I did get the system cleaned but with radiator intact... never changed water pump... Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Thanks for revert mate... got the thermostat changed recently. But found lot of rust recently in the cooling system which I got cleaned... never got water pump changed... should I replace it Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Hi Guys... Greetings to All!!! I thought to put this here in tbe forum to get few suggestions from the members. i have octavia lnk 2005, recently I have been facing this issue with overheating thing whenever I take it for a long drive say 100 miles or uphill. I faced this recently and found that there was no coolet coing back to the reservoir from the pipe from which coolent should come back. Also, after slowly opening the cap of the reservior and cooling it a bit I turned the car on and the coolent started coming back and over flowing out form the reservoir. The big hose which is connected to the radiator was swollen and looked like was filled with steam. Anyways, I pumped some air through my mouth few times in the pipe (which refills the reservoir) which seemed like choked and turned the car ON and coolent started flowing through it in the reservoir. Now yesterday, just out of curosity I pulled that pipe out again just to check if coolent was circulating back to the reservoir and found that there were lot of bubbles and air too coming out from that pipe. I am not sure what could be the reason... is that air the reason why my octi is getting overheated again n again? Please advise. Thanks guys... Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I have a similar kind of issue... if I leave acceleration padel and cluth while driving in 5th gear... I hear a sound as if 2 metal plates are grinding with each other... still looking for the solution... Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Thanks for revert mate... went to another mechanic today... he lubricated front discs and that soved it... Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Hi folks, I have octi 2005 lnk. From past 2 days I have been getting grinding noise wgen i turn steering at low speeds... checked power steering oil it looked good and the level is fine as well... took it to a garage today and mechanic said the mounts needs to be replaced... can mounts b a reason behind this noise or is he just trying to make money out of this...

Wraped disks could be the most probable culprits here... i had the same issue... got rotors grinded to make the surface even... and vibration upon applying breaks never happened again... Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Mates need help I searched a lot on google... But coudnt find it if adjusting wastegate can harm pistons and valves... ? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

I have heard that adjusting turbo wastegate can result in piston damages... Is that true? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Hi Guys... Drove my octi without MAF... But felt even less power... Plugged MAF again and car had a better power... I think MAF is fine... Went to a mechanic he adjusted turbo wastegate and I felt a lot improved pickup... But is this a good idea to adjust turbo? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

I do not have an access to VCDS... Will try with unplugged MAF... Will post the response soon Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Yes... Mate... It works fine... I checked if the diaphragm moves when I press the acceleration paddle and it does open an close... Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

It pulls the inside part up and stays there till the time the air is pulled through the hose... Even if I start the car and press the acceleration paddle egr shows the movement Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Yes... Replaced MAF with an original MAF ... i also bought vacuum pipes of 3 meter length and replaced the old ones completely... Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Yes... It was stripped and the carbon was removed... Yes it shows 'excessive EGR flow' For the EGR checked and found to be fine... Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

@pauldazzle: i got the turbo cleaned recently... Shouldn't that fix it Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Hi Guys, <br />I have been struggling with a problem no tech has been able to diagnose from 6 months. I have been getting Emissions Workshop form a long time. This is what I did to try to fix it:<br />1. Cleaned EGR<br />2. Changed MAF<br />3. Changed N75 valve<br />4. Changed N18<br />5. Changed vacuum hoses<br />6. Got the turbo cleaned<br /><br />I got the diesel filter replaced with bosch filter but I have noticed lot of air bubbles in the pipe carrying diesel... Can that be a reason for this error and loss of power at 3000 rpm <br /><br />Can anyone help me out with this... its becoming really annoying for me...<br /><br />THANKS<br/> Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Hi guys, I have a 2005 octi LnK. Recently the sunroof stated to create a rattling/vibration noise from the left corner at the back. If I push it upwards lightly with a finger the noise stops. I tried to find the reason for this but could not find... Any idea how to get rid of this annoying noise... Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

I got the turbo cleaned about a month ago.... And got the thermostat checked... Mechanic said its fine... But the problem is still there... i mean turbo gives boost at 2500 rpm and car suddenly loses that boost at 3000rpm... Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

I drive mine around 35miles daily. And push it upto 4000rmp in 2nd gear... Atleast once a day to ensure the vanes do not stuck... Also yesterday I noticed event after a drive of 35 miles the engine temp was around 75 to 80 degrees... Generally it touches 90 in this much time... Also I hear 'shshshsh' hissing sound if the pull down the window... I checked but there seems to be no leakage. I used injector cleaner liquid in the diesel this time... Do you think that produces more carbon residue? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Thnx for the reply mate... I got the turbo cleaned about a month ago... There was lot of carbon which was cleaned... Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
