Hi,

For the past few days i've been having starting problems with the car. It takes about 4-5 tries for it to finally start. And once it starts, there's no problem, until i shut the engine off, then I have the same problem again.... Read more

My petrol Superb 2 and diesel Eos both have fully wired clutch position senors. The Eos will not let you energize it's starter until the clutch pedal is fully depressed. With the Superb you do not have to depess the clutch pedal to start the engine, therefore does anybody know what is the purpose of the clutch position sensor in the Skoda? Read more

Railroad.

That's not its only purpose nor its main one. It's used to tell the ECU when the clutch pedal is depressed so it can make alterations to the ignition/injection timing, which allows for smoother gear changes.

What happened when you sprayed carb cleaner into the inlet? You could use carb cleaner/propane to leak chase the vacuum hoses.

Is the EGR valve functioning properly?...
