Ah OK, thanks for the information. I will get it in to the garage as soon as they can fit me in

Hi Cheers for getting g back to me. The car is the 2l diesel 6 speed version, it's currently sitting at 140k hence the fear of the clutch being away. The level was on the minimum and it had been several months since I checked it which is stupid I know, lesson learned. I am the first to admit I am not mechanically minded and I hadn't even considered the brakes as they seem fine and had new pads and discs all round in July, but I never thought about the hydraulics of it. I can't get my head around the fact that having pumped the pedal several times it returned to changing gear without any issues which is why I thought there may be air in the system, and I hoped maybe it would need bled rather than new parts? I won't be using it again until it goes to the garage as soon as I can get it booked in, especially if it might be a brake issue. Its due its service in January anyway. I was just looking to see what issues it might be to get an idea of cost as there's nothing I can do about it til after the new year, nothing worse than not being able to get a problem solved. Lesson definitely learned in regards to checking levels though.

Hi, My octavia has been running perfect with no issues until yesterday. I started the car with the clutch down no problems but I could not get into any gear. When I checked the fluid [yes I should have checked before this] and it was very low so I topped it back up. After pumping the pedal several times it went into gear with no issues. This morning after starting it I had the same problem, after pumping the pedal a few times it went into gear again with no noise or issues. After driving a few miles the gear changes are smooth bit my pedal is not rising back up as far as it used to and I've had to flick it back up with my foot, there doesn't seem to be any issues when using the clutch apart from this, and there is no sign of fluid leaking and the level seems the same as when I filled it, so I am wondering if there is air in the system ? Or if this could be an issue with the master/slave cylinder? The gear change feels the same and there is no other issue apart from this. I will be taking it into the garage as soon as I can, and I'm not planning on using it till then. Obviously being new years eve it's going to be a few days til I can arrange that, I was just wondering if anyone had a similar experience or an idea what could be the problem so I can get an idea of the cost 🤔 Thanks in advance
