A3 Quattro CAI install pictures but dreaded snapped clutch 2night :(

[a3 quattr0]

Hi all,

Here is a pic of my cold air intake fitted

But 2nyt i shifted into 2nd and the clutch pedal slammed to the floor.

Iv read up about this common fault. Just wondering on prices of the clutch pedal unit and if i should buy a new unit or a used unit.

Is it worth buying a new master clutch cylinder as i heard this can be the reason the clip snaps as its giving too much resistance.

Any advice greatly apreciated and enjoy the pic.

Same happened to mine about a year ago now. The first garage I went to tried to sting me for the works like master cylinder amongst other things with it costing a total of £500

So I went to another garage who simply fitted me the new pedal which ended up costing me £75 fitted

Hasn't snapped since, despite the first garage saying it would.

I welded mine back together and strengthened it at the same time....... is that CAI Filter not gonna get all wet and full of crud way down there ???

I got a new one, it only cost £25.

The cai shouldn't get2dirty but ill keep a close eye on it and the sound it makes is immense.

Now the clutch pedal....I called my friends parents garage and told them I need a new clutch pedal unit. They said that I need to buy a bracket (£8) a new pedal (£21) and the clips (£4). Are these the parts I need. also any advice on how I would know the pedal weilds snappd like where should I look on the pedal as I couldn't find anything that fell of in my footwell.

Any advice greatly apreciated
