Audi S3 clutch??

[Bigandbald]

Morning all,

once I leave my car for a few hours or more, usually overnight I come and drive it and the clutch pedal has sunk down half way. Now if I don't move it the biting point will be right at the bottom, so I pull it back up and it is back to normal!
any ideas guys???

Sounds like the clutch wants bleeding, maybe a failing slave cylinder?

 

[Bigandbald]

Nice!! Is it easy to do??

Gearbox out unfortunately : (

Oh well new gearbox it is then as mine crunches when changing up into third quickly or down to second.

Whys it a gearbox out to bleed it? You can bleed it off the master cylinder cant you?

dualmass fried i think.
Had the same, down to the bottom, pulled it up, made it just to home, and it was on the bottom again.

there was a lot of play on the flywheel what caused the slave cilinder to burn.

it's gearbox out to replace slave cylinder sorry; ) not to bleed it

Ok thanks chaps, I think I'll have a go at bleeding it. It only sinks down about 1-2inchs.
fingers crossed all works out ok?
