  1. Thanks for all replies sadly still not working ! but as i have an appointment at dealers at maud tomorrow On an unrelated subject, will get them to have a look
  2. Thanks had a look at the sensor underneath reservoir seems to be still located in place not sure what you mean, that is where you drain fluid from as it is on top??? And when removing plug fluid just sits there doesnt drain out! Or do you have to suck it out or pump it out ??? Wish i had never touched fluid in chamber at all now ! it is stii just below max fill but cant get anymore in as neck of reservoir is full but there still seems to be air pockets i think??? In reservoir ! Brakes have bedded in ok and clutch still operating fine ! but light still flashing
  3. Hi All Think i have done something stupid ? After getting car back from gettin new clutch /fly wheel fitted last week I noticed on there invoice that they said front brake pads were worn down to 3mm So to save money and as i have done brakes before, i did them myself1 i thought all had went well and was bedding them in ok ! but on arrival back at my home noticed wetness On ground quick sniff said brake fluid, so checked master cylinder, and noticed wet on top of it So imagined that when retracting brake pistons on calipers i had forced fluid back to M/cylinder Done and seen it before ! I thought fluid was still high so decided to remove some via a syringe When doing this noticed a small yellow cap on top of body of M/cylinder and thought perhaps this where You are meant to remove fluid from !!!!!! on unscrewing this cap it revealed to small plastic pipe ends Underneath surrounded by brake fluid , so just put small cap back on ! and replaced cylinder cap When turning ignition on red warning light came on, the one that usually comes on if you drive off with hand brake on ! But it is flashing this time ! I lfted cover awayaround M/cylinder to check level properly , and though it wasnt below min it was A good bit from max level too! so got some fluid and topped it up !but red light still flashing HELP
  4. Thanks for replies gents have looked at all of your suggestions ! but none of them sadly So took car to another skoda dealer 35 miles from where i live ! Mechanic 1 said sounds like flywheel suddenly felt ill , mechanic 2 said think its the engine feeling worse now ! Finally mechanic 3 (head mechanic) agreed with no1 so have to go back On thursday to be lightened of £1159 of my paltry savings ! Still looking on the bright side....................................................................................................................................Nope no bright side! Well maybe my leg wont hurt so much at end of shift with new clutch
  5. Hi I wondered if any of you ,have any experience of the prob i am having ? My car is a superb 1.9td 2007 and is used as a taxi ! in the last couple of days it seems to have a developed A kind of droaning noise . when car is ticking over sounds like a burst front exhaust pipe ! And in the past some peple have said to me " does your car have a burst exhaust flange " but that was a while back and is usually only noticeable when car is running in a walled off area And you are getting an echo off walls ! but last night i took car on a 90 mile run to go fishing And on way back could hear a vibration when driving at 60mph and lower speeds on stopping the car and giving it a few hard revs engine picking up ok but when lifting throttle pedal There seemed to be tinkle kind of noise coming from under car that . that happened as engine Returned to low revs, Tried blocking end of ex pipes to test for leak, but exhaust pressure just built up as normal until it moved my hands And no apparent leak . ! i removed engine covers to look from underneath and from above but could see no leak Just wondered if possible baffle broken free inside exhaust and it is vibrating ? Refuse to go Main skoda dealer in Aberdeen as rip off merchant and not good rep! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  6. HI I wondered if anyone can help! When driving my skoda superb today! i noticed it was sluggish in 2nd and 3rd gears and producing a fair bit of smoke when revving above 3000 rpm as car is used as a taxi! i thought maybe just needs a bit of blow out so took up a nearby hill, It stuttered a little but climbed hill ok! It was then i noticed Engine management light on so i took car home! light still on ! and still cloud of smoke when revved above 3000-4000rpm when car stationary!,it starts fine and idles at correct speed! car is a 2007 1.9 tdi
