As above, I have had the doorcard off today, saw where the water falls through, dried it out with some alcohol and gave it a good clean, then sealed along the edge and up the sides a bit.

Bled to a perfect pedal but still think the clutch isn't fully disengaging. Probably been like that for a long time!

Just get RCD330 and be done with it!

I've done 3 good bleeds this morning, there are no bubbles coming out. I still have a small amount of travel at the top end, but other that the pedal feels good. Biting point is still low - am I looking at forks / release bearing?

Thanks - really all I haven't done is pushing the pedal a few times then bleeding again. I'll do that tomorrow. Atleast I have a consistent pedal so I think it'll come back eventually

Yep. Did a fair few cycles. I will do some more in the morning

Hello everyone My clutch pedal wouldn't come up 2 weeks ago, but then recovered for a week and then finally gave up. I've changed the master and slave, the pedal is back and other than the small amount of travel right at the top of the pedal, it feels fine. The biting point however is nearer to the floor now, and whilst it isn't low enough to fail disengaging, it doesn't feel "right". Assuming I've bleed correctly - (I'll give this another go, I have loads of fluid), does this point to something else? I.e. clutch? I had the DMF and clutch changed around 3 years ago, SACHS parts so wouldn't expect anything to fail yet. If it means clutch out again it is what it is, but I thought I'd gauge some opinions first. Cheers

Being honest that's very ambitious. Changing age like-for-like you'll need the airbag wiring loom (easy), steering wheel controller module (easy, just needs programming, can be expensive). Moving to a MK3 you'd need, loom (cheap, easy), wheel (expensive), steering wheel controller module (VERY expensive). Early MK2 Octavia use a common controller. Later MK2 use the more expensive controller. Oh, you'll need a new wiper stalk too, as the wiring changed on later cars. Took me 2+ years to finally have all this resolved. Just buy a DSG car, with MFSW already installed, save yourself the stress.

Hi all Had my Octavia for 3+ years now, always noticed water towards the front of the passenger door but never really thought any of it, until I start reading about seal issues. Boot was the easy one, add some holes to the seal. The door has me a bit confused. The door seal looks "fine". I've had the doorcard off in the last 6 months to change the mirrors and didn't notice any excess moisture. But it definitely looks like water is coming from between the seal on the car and the door card. The seal on the car is wet around 2/3 of the way around at the bottom, and up to the split in the seal on the front of the door aperture. Is there a "known" fault here to look for? The drivers side is 100% dry. Cheers

Does this signal a fault or just how it is?

Been a 2+ year endeavour getting all this working. It's not fun at all 😞

I had a canbus adapter fitted, but not required now I have 1K0-953-549-CH Unplugged the adapter and the buttons now work properly Thanks to you!

Well now I am confused! Opposite of what I was expecting but good news. Cheers!

I would like to specifically know which steering control module you have, and also where the steering angle sensor is located (G85). I am trying to fit a 2010 MFSW wheel to a 2007 Octavia, but realise now they use a different slip ring with everything combined. Thanks:)

Looks like need 5K0-953-569 to use the FL MFSW I have. What a hassle.
