| Hi, Newbie in need of advice 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! DC3  |

| Re: Hi, Newbie in need of advice 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.
