Can you advise please?
« on: May 07, 2016, 07:00:15 pm »
My friend's A3 tdi 170 has clutch problems and would like to diagnose if poss.
Pedal now very short, maybe half way, and sometimes it won't go into gear at all. Not slipping though
Any ideas of what this could be - thanks

Master cylinder but more likely to be the slave, cylinder does it work better if pumped a few times

It would show that the problems with the hydraulic system for the clutch then you need to check which end it is pedal side or clutch side
