Title: help its my clutch
Post by: DREWSTER100 on November 16, 2007, 16:51:31

Help my clutch ?? Can anyone shed some light on what is wrong with the clutch?
 When you start the car its fine smooth action but after 5 / 10 minits it starts to get stiff any ideas
My first thought was that the clutch fork was on its way out but if that were so, it would be stiff all the time
My second thought was is it the slave cylinder
Would anyone have any ideas ???

Any associated nosies?

Does the pedal still go it's full travel even when stiff?

Have you tried bleeding it at all?

Sorry for the list of questions, but it might help shed a little more light :)

Lift the rubber mats and check the master cylinder isn't leaking into the carpet, often it's that when you might think it's the slave.

As for why it's stiff when warm, hmmmmm, stroky beard moment. :-k

Something to do with the exhaust and the flexi perhaps :?

Ooo good one! :)

I can see where you coming from if it's a V8 but clutch flexi and exhaust are on opposite sides on a Tdi tho'  :?
