Hi,
I have an Audi A3 1998 1.6 Sport. My clutch pedal went flat to the floor while driving and now the clutch does not work at all as it does not spring back up when I release my foot. I have been told that the rod that goes from the clutch pedal to the diaphragm has gone right through the diaphragm (AA man using basic terms to explain the problem to me). I can move the clutch pedal up and down with my hand. My question is will my A3 need a new clutch or is this just a part that is linked to the clutch that can be repaired easily and cheaper than replacing the whole clutch.
This is the second time this has happened to my car in a couple of years, a friend of a friend repaired it last time but I am considering taking it to audi (well getting it towed there!) but would like to know what sort of cost this would all incur and what you think has broken on the car.
Any info would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Mark
