Interchangeable Brake Master cylinders?
Martin191 replied to Martin191's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Thanks Ken, I got one of Partsgateway in the end, not sure if its interchangeable, but I got it for 28 quid delivered. -

Thought so, any idea if they're interchangeable then? I've seen a load of mk4 golf / a few audi tt master cylinders, and a few look to have an extra pipe or two -

Also to add to this - both the bleed nipples have sheared off the master cylinder. -

When removing the master cylinder as it was taken out is sounded like it was drawing air in, then once refitted it then started hissing when pushing the brake pedal, while the engine was off. What does that make you think? -
Hi does anyone know what other brake master cylinders I can fit to a 2002 Octavia VRS. Mine is making a hissing noise when pressing the brake pedal after removal. Thanks

boost pressure drop in 3rd 4th 5th around 5000rpm

I can vouch for the crank sensor.. the same thing's just happened to mine. after replacing everything was fine. -
is the issue I'm having similar to what you have?
-
Threads a bit old mate... Wouldn't mind redeeming though, My vrs has a weird issue where boost drops off by a few psi then rebuilds back up again, all without lifting the throttle.

Please help! Does the car requires new connecting rods!

Sounds like noisy tappets, when was the last oil change? -
Cold start - doesnt start first turn

To be fair I also recently removed the Sai and that seemed to occasionally give me the odd 2 crank start. -

My money would be on the crank sensor. I noticed these problems recently and no codes appeared, then one day the crank sensor just gave up on me. After replacing it was back to normal once again. -
Get in touch with tierod69 on ebay, they sorted me a new sump for £30-40 delivered the next day. It'll be a much better fix than heli coiling it.

Lump start up,Rev's searching when idling

http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4893472-DIY-Ultimate-SAI-N249-PCV-EVAP-Delete I recommend doing n112, n249 and pcv delete with a catch can install. This will remove all potential air leaks and overall creates a much more responsive car (you'd be surprised!) Also in regards to the throttle body, you won't need a replacement gasket if you're careful, and Euro car parts sells carb cleaner for £2.50, if you've got one close. I think they also do the tb gasket too, don't quote me on that though.

Try cleaning your throttle body, that fixed a similar problem I had a while back. -
May have spoken too soon, after 4 cold starts with it being fine, the 5th put me in limp... O well! The throttle response is much better and it boosts a lot harder without that stupid suction jet pump now anyway.. The brakes also seem unaffected.
