Good evening ladies and gents...
Right so I had a situation a couple weeks ago, basically driving home from work the clutch went on my 1.8t, no slipping or anything but basically I could push my foot to the floor and couldn't get any gears. If I'm honest the bite point was slowly getting lower for a while and I didn't think anything of it. No I diagnosed it as a master cylinder problem and decided to change both slave and master cylinder (as it's the on gearbox type of slave not concentric) however I'm not sure if I'm having a hydraulic issue or a pressure plate issue? Since changing them both and what I assume is bleeding the system I've still not got a clutch and the pedal isn't returning to where it should be.... I've sent nearly a litre of break fluid into the system but only had maybe 100ml come out of the other end?
So I'm at a loss, one where could this outer of fluid have gone and 2 what's he chances that the clutch pressure plate has just caved in and I'm gonna have to be changing that?
Also I've been looking it up and there seems to be 2 different sizes of clutch for sale, 220 and 228mm however it doesn't give me any clue of which one I should be buying...
Any help would be appreciated!
