Clutch pedal raises and drops

(1/4) > >>

Phatvalver:
Hi guys,
Im fairly new to the forum and would really appreciate some help as im at my wits end with my car....
So its a 55 reg mk5 gti 2.0 tfsi
The story goes..... I bought the car beggining of november and all was fine... Within a day i was getting a raise of clutch pedal when accelerating and a drop when letting off accelerator!
Had this diagnosed as slave cylinder (in gearbox)
But also at same place a conflicting diagnosis being the DMF was the cause pushing pressure back onto the slave making the travel in the pedal!
So the car stayed and i get a phone call its the master cylinder :confused:
They say there is fluid round it and its letting in air! Ok so £150 later the clutch feels great!
I use the car for 24 hrs and boom clutch pedal drops to the floor

So i make the call and the response " you will have to pay again for a new one once the other issue is sorted thats caused the master to fail"
I dont use garages often as i can never trust who has control of my car, but on this occation it was more of a time thing for me!!
So i sat the car up for a week and decided im gonna do this myself with a lil help from my friends....
The long and short of it is i ordered 4 complete clutch kits including dmf from different suppliers 1 after the other and the all supplied the wrong kit! With much stress and this all being over christmas the car has sat on axle stands on my drive for well over a month....
I then turn to some specialists in the buisiness and call Alex from AKS tunning!!
Next day i have a full helix organic clutch kit and golf r dmf on my door step!
This was fitted last weekend, unfortunatly daylight got the better of me and my mates so we down tools

Phatvalver:
Today i buy the new master, fitted within an hour which i expected to be a s**t of a job but was acctually very easy....we then bleed the system...
It bled up really well, we got a strong peddle and no air whatsoever!!
So then we test drive the car and yep you got it a raising and dropping pedal on acceleration and deaccelerating!!!
All components are new in the system
Im getting a power bleeder in the morning with the hope that will make a difference... But as it is im so close to giving up its untrue

Phatvalver:
Any help would be much appreciated and sorry for the long story....

Phatvalver:
Presure bled the system thiseve
