Octavia vrs problems 😭

Featured Replies

Hello everyone ! New to briskoda!!

I currently drive a 2014 Octavia vrs manual diesel....

I'm having problems when I first start the car, that it won't go into gear ! If I try start the car already in gear , then it bunnyhops 😂😂 

It will forcefully go in and then it goes through the gears fine ! It's currently in a garage , they test drove it when it was warm, so went through all the gears ...just not when it's cold .... Is this looking like a new clutch job ?

Hello, welcome to the forum.

Does the clutch release any better if you pump the pedal a couple of times before attempting to engage 1st gear? - If so, it could simply need the clutch to be bled.

I tried pumping the clutch yesterday but no luck , it's only a struggle at first when I start the car ...once it's got into gear then it's perfectly fine ! It's just getting it in is the problem😂😭

Possibly your problem is clutch contamination, causing drag on the lining. If this is the case, replacement of the clutch will probably be required.

Have you tried deliberately slipping the clutch a little during a fairly quick start? - Don't overdo it.

Ahhh thought that would be the case ! Is it worth doing the dmf at the same time too ? 

I regret not taking it to a vag specialist... I just took it to the nearest garage I could get to 😂

If replacement clutch is necessary, definitely worth doing the DMF while the box is out.
