Just awaiting an update from the garage.

Gunky intake causing the flaps to stick maybe?

Garage has advised two faults

One being the inlet manifold actuator diaphragm being shot and the other is the throttle body (under/next to the EGR) has failed so a new unit is needed.

Cant complain though really as I've had the car 4 years and this is the first real issue.

Following the above the cars now sorted and feels better than it has for a long time. Might be the placebo effect but happy nonetheless. My wallet isn't though haha

The throttle body had failed and this was causing the issue (in the other thread) with the sensor not being able to communicate with it. Had this replaced and I had the inlet manifold actuator sorted too.

Replaced and bled the clutch/brake fluid. Gave her a nice wash and polish in my lunch hour!

 

[RichyFR]

Oh, and activated boot pop. Octavia struts and sirocco boot mounts on the way

Looks very nice without the wiper, just not sure I could live without it.

 

[vINyL3]

Bought another triple R front splitter after the wife thought it a good idea to go off road and cracked it!
