Yes zak thats the very bit i mean......sorry if my bad terminology has caused you any stress mate :oops:

Not sure its of any help but my clutch went recently and i thought it was the slave but it didn't help changing it......the problem turned out to be the clutch fork that holds the thrust bearing was snapped, and after reading on here it turns out i'm not the first thats happened to, don't think its that common though.....and if it is, its about £30 for the fork. Hope you get it sorted mate

Not sure exactly what your looking for but there is a good chance you'll find it here viewtopic.php?f=11&t=65658 Mr Boost Monkey takes lots of pics and writes it all up pretty well too :D

Looks a lot like a TT to me especially 2nd pic

What is a exhaust cut out anyway? :D

Maybe if you describe the colour of the wire you cut into , then someone might know which one it is.......The wiring is a bit of a mystery to me though......all i know is that if you dont connect the Grey/blue one at the rear of the headunit......your spoiler will stop working :lol:

Very well put......oh and welcome back :wave: :D ......

I will do mate......got a stat from TPS this morning but they didn't have the housing.....got one from GSF though, who are now open until 4pm on a saturday :D

oops.....had a quick look on vagcat and i have found it, number 29ish .......its late, what can i say :cuckoo: :D

Hi, I'm hoping someone with etka or similar could look up and maybe post the location of the thermostat on a skoda felecia 1.6 GLXI 1999.......this might save me some lying in the mud looking about in the morning as i have a boiling hot skoda on my drive/mudslide :lol: Cheers :salute:

Thats what i was thinking as i bought one a while ago.......never got round to fitting it though, but gave it to the new owner when i sold it.....cant remember the exact cost but it was nothing like £45

No idea what its worth......but dont sell it cheap after doing all that work.......in fact just dont sell it :D

Very nice indeed......dont know what it is, but i think white wheels= 8)

:D :lol: I vaguely remember seeing that one , in fact i have spoken to the owner , years ago now though :D

Green Storm spotted yesterday at 6-15pm , dumbreck rd at mosspark boulevard private plate GIB... i think , wasn't me who spotted it , twas my girlfriend......well trained :lol:

Got a call from the Garage this morning.......The bearing release fork insdide the clutch is cracked and bent........so got one ordered..........so i was £300 on parts on monday.....discs and pads all round and a clutch......looking at a bill for labour at about £230 ......and the fork is about £30.....fingers crossed that'll be all :lol:

Well it looks like i'll be towing the car to the garage on monday morning......spoke to someone else today and seemed to know exactly what it was ........release/thrust bearing has partially or fully came away from the fork?......and will likely have done the clutch in :( .......i'm guessing i'll find out on monday :? Thanks again to wullie for the visit earlier on :salute:

Did you do this yourself?......is this possible to do at home or am i best to bite the bullet and book it in somewhere? That sounds like a parts and labour price. You will need to take the gearbox off.Not everyones cup of tea to be done at home on the driveway. Thats what i feared :( ........i'll see if i can get someone to do it for me for cash.....either that or its getting booked into the garage :gag:

Did you do this yourself?......is this possible to do at home or am i best to bite the bullet and book it in somewhere?

Wullie was good enough to come down and have a wee look.......and his thoughts are that its possibly the release bearing? Anyone any experience of one of these failing, symptoms etc? Cheers Martin

Ok.....the clicking noise seems to be coming from the slave cylinder,or very very close to it........the newly fitted one.......but was also coming from the old one........tried bleeding from the smaller bleed nipple, under the resevoir but almost nothing came out?.........i tried pumping the peddle with the system closed but its not building up any pressure? any ideas would be great at this stage :shrug: Cheers Martin

Also meant to say that 1st and reverse were almost impossible to get into?

Hi Wullie, I'm in Mosspark mate.......not too far from you i guess? ....as for the clicking .....i'm not sure to be honest.......i'm heading back out just now to see if i can find the 2nd bleed nipple Cheers Martin

Cheers Wullie, I'll have a look then.......i have read that there is a 2nd bleed nipple on the master cylinder......but knowing zero about these things makes even the smallest/easiest jobs daunting. I guess i'm correct in thinking that if i have to replace the master cylinder then there isn't anything else left in the system then? ie. pedal, master,slave and pipes is what will make up the system?

Hi all, My clutch pedal started to get stuck halfway back up(last night)...then it springs back to the original position........getting into gear was difficult too. Got in this morning and the problem was the same.....and getting worse........ The biting point is on the floor........and it started making a bad clicking noise......which goes away as soon as you depress the clutch pedal even a wee bit. So had a look and there was a small amount of fluid under the slave clyinder........went to gsf and got a new one......fitted it and did the bleeding thing(although not sure correctly).......but the clicking and the jumpy pedal thing remains? Any ideas?.......I have looked in the search and all fingers point to the slave , an airlock or the master cylinder ? Have i just not bled it correctly?......or is it something else? Cheers all :D Martin
