Hi,

Had my octavia Vrs 2.0TFSI for a couple of weeks now. Popped open the bonnet yesterday and noticed that the air intake pipe had unclipped itself and was dragging on the fan (not great for a turbo engine!) also looks like a piece is missing . Is this a common problem with these engines? I have re-attached the pipe but its come loose again, other that that can't fault it!

I've not seen an air intake pipe fall off before. They should have two screws on the front end and a large spring clip on the rear end.

Welcome.
