Sticky Clutch when 'pressing on'

[Sparky Craig]

Just a quick one I had the SAME issue with my car about 18months ago, I had the dealer take it back in under warranty and they played with it for a FULL week, changed loads of bits, for the problem to still be there.

Then one of the techs found a brake hose with the internals crushed, they replaced the hose bled the system jobs a good un...

No problems even since ...

mines gone aswell, but I cant say what did it as my car had major work done on related components

Hi guys, iv the same problem, clutch has just started sticking the odd time, usually when taking off from junction in 1st gear,it sticks half way and does not go as far down as the floor, any common fix?

TTT

Me and pov have same issue, we have both had our master cylinders changed but the problem is still there..

Any one else?

Since I've had this issue... I have had... wait for this...

New clutch
New release Bearing
New Dual Mass Fly Wheel
New Fluids
New Master Cylinder
New Regulator Valve (It's like a round, black, plastic sealed unit attached to the bulkhead which is part of the clutch pipework ... it was squeaking and vibrating when depressing the clutch).

... and guess what, it started doing it again at the weekend. Only when I'm giving it some stick.... but so what... it should still bloody work !!

Apparently there is a return spring on the pedal assembly, which I could be pressing beyond it's limit when changing hard... so this is next up for investigation.

... and to think I discounted DSG because I felt there could be some nasty cost associated with it... the fecking Irony !!

Gonna give it another couple of tries and if I can't get it fully sorted soon... I'm going to flog it... I'm that pissed off. 

I have exact same problems, and have now had all the above parts now changed apart from clutch and still doing it.  Gutted  Still, the one chink of light is that Steve at Statllers is on the case and if anyone can sort it, I believe he can.

That's not good Andy.

I've also got this issue. Bit more similar to Ben's, where it sticks when pushing the car hard. Clutch has never felt good, rattle from DMF is ridiculous and  shifts don't feel right either.

I'm dreading getting all those bits replaced. Might just part chop for the new Tiguan R.

Well I will join in on this escapade, well as you guys might know it well it's one after all.

I had my clutch, slave cylinder/throw out bearing, master cylinder and full system bleed.
I have thought about replacing the sealed unit as well as the black unit that hangs off the slave.

The only slight difference I have is that when its cold, the clutch works perfectly, when the clutch gets warm, it drops the biting point from the top of the pedal almost to the floor.

But let it stand for 10-15 minutes and the pedal is perfect.
So I too have been on the hunt for the issue. I won't have my car back for at least another 10-14 days.
Will reassess the car then.

Much like one of the other members here, I decided too, to get the manual over DSG.
I owned a TDI DSG before my GTI.

Now I can drive my manual or the girlfriends DSG GTI. So best of both worlds?
Or is that problem from both camps?

But the idea of a damaged brake line? I can possibly see how that could affect it.

I owned a Audi B6 TDI a few years back (stunning car 130hp) but as you drove it the brakes would engage to the point the car would hardly move, then release pressure from one of the hoses. Car would then drive perfectly till problem re-occurred.

If all the parts bar the clutch have been changed and its still doing it then its prob the clutch! 

Pressure plate is really the only thing that pushes the slave back so maybe the forks are weak.

Did the clutch look ok?

hi alex, yeah clutch looked ok.

not done bleed block as thought might be more to it and DMF was definately ko'ed so box did need to be dropped. tbh if clutch has gone wish i would have gone for a loba clutch and smf although would need to ask Steve about prices

I want that bleed block modded by Monday!    If there is any sh*te in the block then it could be occationally blocking and restricting flow.
