Audi A3 8P TDI 2.0 Clutch pedal on the floor

[lyniseuk]

Hi All

I have a problem with my car. A couple of days ago the clutch pedal starting to stick and I had to pump it a few times to get the pedal to return. Today my clutch pedal is on the floor and will only return if I flip it with my foot. I had the master cylinder replaced about 6 months ago, could this have failed again? The car is a high mileage 196k. There are no visible leaks that I can see and the brake fluid is about half way between min and max. Any ideas. Thanks.

Could be a mechanical pedal failure, need to get yer head deep down in the footwell and have a a look. If all that is ok the cluctch slave cylinder, realease bearing, clutch friction plate, clutch cover are completely worn out.

Thanks for the reply. No bits in the footwell, or leaks. Car drove fine the other day (no clutch slip etc). Just no response now from the clutch pedal. Can't pump it to build up pressure to make it select gears.

I managed to sort the problem out. Had a new Sachs clutch kit and flywheel fitted and the garage said the slave cylinder was leaking. It also leaked onto the clutch causing issues. All sorted now but cost alot to repair.

I guess the friction material on the clutch plate must have soaked up the brake fluid, hence no leaks visible. Hope your good for another 196k miles.
