Hi everyone, we are having a nightmare with a 2016 octavia estate VRS diesel clutch issue. Back in November 2018 the clutch peddle was stuck to the floor, a local garage suggested it was more than likely a new clutch that was needed. So the clutch was changed. A week or so later the peddle was stuck to the floor again. The garage bled the clutch for free and said it should be fine. Three times the car went back for bleeding and still it kept coming back. Bleed the clutch, a few days later or less the peddle goes to floor.
The mystery of all this was the brake fluid level wasn't dropping at all ... not one bit. The garage suggested it could be the master cylinder, perhaps letting air in ... the other day that was changed too. So far we have spent £630 on a new clutch and master cylinder ... low and behold after a 30 mile motorway and only 2 days later run the clutch peddle was stuck to the floor AGAIN!
I'm at a loss to know what it is and the garage is scratching their head too, they normally only do clutches so they are really stummped. Has anyone any ideas what this could be ... the car is only a few years old and at 130k miles isn't that bad for a diesel.
I had a Mk1 Octavia for 198,000 miles and for 15 years and never ever had these problems. I currently have a VW Touran 2005 and no problems with that either - new clutch all is great.
Any ideas would be very gratefully received ... puzzled from Wigan
