vRS-IRL

I was driving to work today and was sitting in traffic. All of a sudden I heard a pop and my clutch pedal dropped to the floor. I got the car towed to work where I found the flexi pipe from where the bleed nipple is had popped out. Not I've refitted it and gave the clip a squeeze together for a tighter hold..it's bled out and working ok now. Has this happened anyone else?..is it the sign of a bigger issue?...I only fitted a new 4 piece clutch kit last year but the pedal has given trouble with sticking so I think it could be related. It's an 2006 tfsi vrs.

It's after the disengage point of the clutch when it happens. I'm going to have it up on a ramp later and I'll have a look through again and see can I find anything. Fluid is perfect and nothing's leaking...as I said it's not actually causing any issues with the clutch...but.its more of an annoyance now so I'd like the get to the bottom of it

Hi all. I'm having an issue with the clutch pedal in my car. About a year ago I replaced the clutch and dmf. Before changing the clutch, the problem was that when disengaging the clutch the pedal would come about halfway then stop for a second and then pop the rest of the way after my foot is fully off it..with the new clutch fitted it's still doing it... Everything works perfectly...no issues depressing the clutch or the engagement of the gears etc, but also it doesn't do it all the time...it seems to come and go... It's just starting to annoy me now as I now own the car. Any help would be great

The car does alot of short journeys..one of the main reasons that they bought the petrol and not a diesel actually.

That won't be an issue anymore as I do oil and filter every 7000km to 10000km.. and I always use proper oil...the tfsi they sold to me has 130k miles on it and has no issues as I looked after it and always serviced it on time and with the right stuff.

I'm going to look at getting the chain and tensioner replaced in the next 2 weeks so. The service history I got with the car says it's on a variable service regime...I must keep an eye on the oil level and see what it's like. Thanks for the replies.

Hi all. So after a long search and a trip to the UK I finally got my sister a 2010 mk2 vrs TSI dsg. So I'm going to do all the usual stuff...full service, dsg oil etc...is there anything else that would be recommended to be changed...like the pcv or diverter valves on the tfsi or are the ones on this engine ok? Also there's 75k miles on it...and I'm reading all the horror stories about the timing chain tensioner...can I fit the newest revision tensioner and a new cover plate on its own or would a whole chain replacement be better...car goes perfect...no rattles when cold etc. Thanks Gary

so where is this relay located...i would like to sort it out before tomorrow as sombody is coming to view the car...(hopefully to buy it aswell)..

when you turn your indicators on....you can hear the ticking from the dash...all ok...but today...i turned mine on...and when the indicator turned off it started ticking madly...then it stops...but it happened all the way home and got on my nervous...the indicator itself is going off...just not the ticking sound from the dash...

i only found that out today on my mk1 octavia vrs...its for when you park your car up and its sticking out onto a road somewhere or parked close to a road or parked in an estate...just so people can see it...and beleive me it does work...

i am actully in love with your car...

the extreme pads are getting great reviews...bit on the dusty side though...ive ordered mine...picking them up on tuesday...and i have some black diamond 12 groove discs to go along with them:thumbup:

would a magnetic sump plug be a good investment for when your doing your next oil change?

i agree...BTCC is far more exciting to watch...the JGTC aswell...along with the WRC..

thnaks... i was just browsing the TEIN range and noticed they did springs coilovers for te MK4 golfs...was gonna get a set of springs for my octavia...

ive had my standard 01 vRS sitting at 142mph....just wouldnt go any faster...:(

are the Octavia vRS springs the same as the ones on the MK4 golf?... Thanks:thumbup:

i didnt beleive it when i passed that sign the other day...thought i read it wrong...

im 18....and a half......

nice car...the grille really looks nice...(might have to copy your idea)...:P

i got mine in halfords....they look great now...gonna do them again after i get the wheels painted:thumbup:

im having a problem with my exhaust knocking...sounds likd its coming from about halfway up the car...when i hit speed ramps and turn from left to right i can hear it worse....and its knocking when i shake the backbox...would there be an exhaust mount or bushing broken or a bracket of some sort.. Thanks

thanks...trip to halfords on my way home tomorrow eving i suppose now...

hi where can i get some green paint to match the calipers on an octavia vRS...i wanna touch mine up becaus they got a few chips when i was doing the discs and pads... thanks:thumbup:

i only ordered mine today...121 euro...so whatever that is in sterling...wont have it till next thursday though...:(
