Im buying a 2002 octy vrs one thing ive gotta ask went and checked out the car and noticed that the vacumn pipe that leads to the inlet m/fold was drawing in air and when the car was cold it didnt idle the best and on the test drive it twice hesitated :( would u think that this pipe maybe the prob? The dealer said he would replace the hose before I bought it but just wanted to know if ppl have come across this before?

Im looking advice if anyone knows before i shell out the money for it?

looks as if im stuck then no one with the answer i want :(

tbh if hes replacing it free of charge then thats all good. there is a known hesitation with the octavia. mine does it now and again and is on an 02 plate. there are numerous topics on it. make sure you get a warrantee on the car if you do buy it

14 minutes at this time of night isnt alot of time to give mate. be patient and someone will always answer:)

yeah when i bought my '02 vRS in September that hose had gone.

idled bad aswell. causes it to run lean or rich, cant remember which!

anyway replaced hose (simple job), problem gone.

get the dealer to do an error code sweep while your there before you buy it. then you can see whats up with it. unless the cheeky bugger has cleared the errors already!!

basically most problems you will have engine-wise will be with nakkered hoses! nothing major or expensive, just a pain in the rectum!

check the cam cover breather pipe too (under the plastic engine cover). they always seem to crumble apart after a while. mine did. its a mega easy job though, 10mins max.

good luck with it mate. its an awesome car. ive done 7000miles in 3 months and its been a trooper.

so much fun to be had pushing bmw's off the motorway!!!

What dealer is it? Just out of Curiosity. If you need any codes read give me a shout.

o ur so impatient andy.

get the deal done m8...

u know beemers r common oer here....

I presume you will get some kind of warranty?

Basically any splits in the pipe work will cause the car to run differently.The split in the pipe work will cause the car to chuck out the air which should be going into the engine so the fuel will be thrown out too, causing rough running.

As for the rough cold start running there seems to be a lot of probs with 1.8t at this time of year,some down to the secondary air pump.

has any got a picture of the hose in question?

many thanks,

Shaun.

Do you know anyone with Vag-Com?

You could always take it along and check for any fault codes
