Hello, welcome to the forum. Very possibly a faulty fuel injector, a VCDS scan should show the cause of fault.
-
Obviously DSG doesn't have a driver-operated clutch cylinder.
-
@Crasher can probably advise, I have seen estimated prices of £1500 posted on two separate VAG websites. One site was VW Audi Forum (VWAF). Try googling EA888 camchain replacement price.
-
I believe the Mk3 brake master cylinder reservoir shares the fluid with the clutch, with the brake fluid being taken from the reservoir lower down than the clutch take-off. It sounds like the master cylinder has failed.

To test if any door is not actually locking when it should, try locking with the fob - then check each door and trunk.

Is the probable reason for engine seizure known - was it seriously overheated or run without oil?
-
Have you checked for a comparative quote from a clutch specialist? Almost certain to be considerably cheaper, as some stealers charge up to £200 an hour. You could also try one of the mobile specialists. 😒 Just noticed that I misread OP, I missed the 'Charged' - read it as Quoted. Clearly too late to get a comparison price. Should have gone to SpecSavers!
-
You need to check, you can find your engine code as the 4 letter prefix to the engine number on your V5 registration document - it is also often on a label on the B pillar.

For the work involved - and at main dealer charges, that price would be pretty much as expected. 1.5 ACT TSI timing belt replacements have been quoted near that price.
-
Presumably with a very high rate, bulk charger - which must be used very carefully to avoid damaging the battery by overcharging.
-
Is this a 1.5 TSI? Price (for a dealer) appears pretty reasonable provided condition is good. Surprising that it does not appear to have been serviced at two years though.
-
What is the model specification of the vehicle you are buying? Spec should identify what infotainment system is fitted. My assumption is that this car is not new.
-
Don't forget that VAG pure ICE vehicles from at least 2015 are actually micro-hybrids, the battery charging system is designed to use energy recuperation, which is why alternator charging is restricted to approx. 75% battery max SOC.
-
^^^ I'd suggest tyres have been run underinflated
-
Time charged but not worked per service, plus the sum charged for parts specified but not fitted - likely to amount to a considerable sum over a year. 😒
-
I found the same with two main dealers during the first 4 years with my Octavia - which is why I only use independents now.
-
I believe that the dealer has breached UK contract law if that is the case - unless a copy of the contract was offered, but declined by you, which should have been noted (and signed by you) on the contract. I suspect the contract will be void.
-
Four things on that readout stand out straight away - all intermittent. - System voltage too low. - Fuel pressure regulator. - Fuel pressure sensor. - Fuel injector number 2. These all need to be checked.
-
It depends on what infotainment system you have installed, is there a 'Navigation' button on the screen? The settings menu will give the system details.
-
The 'slop' in the conrod bearing would need to be truly enormous to significantly affect the timing of that cylinder - at which point either the rod would let go, or the piston would contact the valves.
-
Pressing the brake pedal while the engine is stopped will restart the engine due to depletion of brake booster vacuum - is that what is possibly happening here?
-
You will need to tag one of the Vrs owners to confirm, I did see engine code DLB(A) listed as being for EA888/3 - but could not find codes for EA113. If your engine has a cam chain, it's EA888 - EA113 uses a cam belt.
-
What is the name of this dealer? Were you supplied with a copy of the order form?
