#1 Clutch problems

Post by coalboy » Sat Jun 04, 2011 10:33 pm

Had difficulty changing gear on my S3 and thought it would just be slave needing bleeding as clutch pedal very soft.

just been bleeding but after first couple of pedal pushes no more fluid! Resevoir still full. Before starting to bleed the clutch was activating slave so no blockage master to slave is it likely blocked resevoir to master?

help appreciated

ok stripped low pressure side and cleaned resevoir, low pressure hose okay, and cleaned banjo, so all okay, cant find copper washers anywhere that match exactly the 2 on the low pressure side 7/16" id, 3/4" od!

stripped off clutch pipe as master cylinder looks like problem.

got an oem spare today but wrong part sent was for landrover :cry:

so now got to return and wait for replacement.
