clutch problem ????

[gracelea68]

hi all my name is mark im new to this forum

i have owned audis for around 5 years now my first was an audi a3 1.8t, never had a problem with it.
this week i bought an audi S3 iv only owned it for 4 days its been great!!, last night i took it for a run everything was fine, i pulled up at my house and as i came up the road changed into second the clutch felt funny, changed to third even funnyer and as i came to a stop it was gone, its now flat to the floor i can pull it up and back down but there isnt anything there wont go into gear,it was like (evry time i changed gear i was pumping the fluid out) and i noticed there was a little steam/smoke cuming from under the bonnet,

was wondering if maby a pipe has blown off?? were do i check first?
i think the slave cylinder has gone i hope not but hey ho??

Not sure if it would be much help, but if you are in the Manchester area, we would be more than happy to have a look at the car and find the fault!

As above there are a couple of common things that they do!!

Either way, hope you get it sorted and if there are any parts you need give me a holla I will look after you the best I can

Ahh the famous slave cylinder failure. Box out to inspect, but a visual check should reveal fluid from the box/sump join
