Re: Metal pedals

Order ones for a skoda Octavia. They fit perfect and when I bought them I think they were only £65 from the Skoda main dealer. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171003/60dccbbcbc7b2cd9fae477c3e423cb0a.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171003/534b4be666354636b0cd4e82e7ccd85f.jpg https://uploads...

Re: Engine tapping noise.

Thanks everyone. Just wasn't sure. Just glad there isn't any sign of chain tensioner issues but I will keep listening out for it though.

Engine tapping noise.

Hello all. So I got a little concerned when I've been reading on here and other forums about chain tensioners going on 2.0 TSI engines and so I went to investigate. Mine is a 59 plate with 55k on the clock. So from what I can hear, it doesn't seem to be sounding like the videos i've heard on youtube...

Re: 2.0 tsi clutch squeal and cold start problems

Just a quick update on this... I have found out that VW in Blackburn sold me the car with a Lookers Warranty and not the 'Das WeltAuto' VW warranty. And they have asked for my authorisation for 3 hours labour if the issue isn't covered under their warranty to investigate. Also they have explained th...

Re: 2.0 TSI MPG

I put ACC to comfort, set the cruise control to 65, lay the seat back and went to sleep! :sleep:

One thing I must say about driving that slow is, IT'S REALLY BORING!

Re: Latest Premium Bluetooth Module

Wiring mod done. I've looped the mike connection to bypass the RCD510 direct to the bluetooth kit. The bluetooth phone kit now works, no problems, but I'm still annoyed that I couldn't code the RCD510 to pass the microphne connection through to the bluetooth kit without having to change the wring. ...

I got this driving back from Bristol to Wigan when we got the car back in October

Not seen this since! But the missus averages high 30's running up the motorway everyday.

Re: 2.0 tsi clutch squeal and cold start problems

Hey, I dropped the car off at the dealers this morning and demonstrated the squeal to one of their technicians. Had to reverse up a steep hill though to make it happen, and stressed to him that it happens more frequently when its colder outside. But he agree'd it isn't right, so they are going to dr...

Re: 2.0 tsi clutch squeal and cold start problems

Hello. I have the same squealing noise from mine as well, mainly when reversing. Mines just over 3 years old with 42k on the clock so there shouldn't be any clutch issues. Although its out of its original 3 year warranty, its was bought last Oct from a VW dealers and is covered under their 12 month ...
