I was driving the wifes octavia 110 tdi estate and there seemed to be quite a lot of vibration on/ thro the clutch pedal, is this normal, thought it may be due to the fact it is an oil burner :confused: or is it likely to be something more sinister?

Happened to me a year ago, ended up having new clutch etc fitted, beware very expensive from skoda got mine through my local garage at half the price, as I have now spent so much money on this car (Turbo just blown) it will be passed on

Depends what you call quite a lot. I get a bit of vibration but no more than any older derv car I had.

£300 from Mr Clutch for a sachs OE or better grade part on a 1.9TDI 110

As for biesse comment on turbo, I think you will find it was probably gummed up with oil and just needed taking apart and cleaning which a decent garage would have done. The variable vanes stick eventually and all need cleaning out (hence an overboost error)
