Problem is whilst driving revs will shoot up by 300-400 revs for no reason foot doesnt even need to be on clutch settles back and pulls after couple of seconds

New clutch required.

How many miles has the car done?

?? Already ?? Can't be that much since the car is from 2004..

Is this a known problem or something (I'm also an octavia 2004 driver)

If the revs are shooting up and there is no increase in road speed it can only be the clutch. It could be either premature wear or *possibly* a master cylinder problem (though that would/should have totally different symptoms)

Either way it is worth a trip back to the dealer as it should be covered under warranty.

I had a similar problem when I had a tuning box fitted to my engine and turned right up, only did it a few times, really odd, revs jumped a bit as if you were slipping the clutch then all returns to normal.

Mine is a 2004 model incidentally.

Welcome to Briskoda. Which model, what mileage (asked already), and has the engine been modified in any way?

The warranty doesn't cover natural wear and tear, but I would not expect a clutch to be causing problems at that age and mileage. I suggest a trip to the dealer to get the problem investigated and, hopefully, fixed under warranty.

Hi Thanks for all your comments

I thought you would be interested to know that the fault has now been fixed thanks to a brilliant manager at our local dealership who spent time researching and found that the problem is in fact a design fault with Skodas such as ours Apparently there is a problem with condensation on the clutch plate housing, which has now (hopefully) been fixed under warrenty by replacing the faulty part with a modified one.

So anyone out there with the same problem my advise is persevere as we were told originally that there was NO fault and we would have to pay for investigation which, if we had would probably not shown it up as it is an intermitant fault depending upon condensation.

A good result and well done to your dealership who deserve to be given due credit in the Review Station here. When you have found the dealer's entry, simply type a post as for the normal forums. Couldn't be easier!
