Coilpack? Was it a wee bit lumpy?

No warning lights?

All ok now?

Did the clutch pedal drop?

Smell of unburnt fuel?

There where no warning lights adrain the clutch pedal did't drop but it did smell of fuel.i'm lost on this one don't think its coil packs not again surelythey where done at 15000 miles cars no on 41000 that was 2+years ago.

Have you since run it again? And was it fine? Sounds like the temporary boost leak problem in that case. No warning lights, but no go either... Just an error in VAGCOM.

Chris if you want to meet up later and 'plug' it in let me know mate.

This is the clutch master cylinder problem and should be changed under warranty..normally only happens when it's very cold.....was why I asked if the clutch pedal dropped.

I've had it happen only once and it was very cold that morning....umping the clutch a couple fo times or hooking your foot under it and pulling it back up normally sorts it.

They dont have clutch cables.They are hydraulic.

Was the engine cold?

Could it be overfueling?

Lambda or temp sensor?

Something like that?

temp warning light flashes at me every single morning for the past 2 years jsut switch off the ignition and its gone.never had any problems with it before but this may be the start.Thanks for the info sarah its much appreciated.:thumbup:

temp warning light is the expantion tank sensor.

Replace the tank and all should be ok.

As they do have probs with temp sensor i would check that.

But I thought that there was 2 on the octy vrs?

Where is Lummox?
