It had to happen sooner or later

Never gone near the clutch hydraulics on a Golf, can it be bled the normal way or do you need to back bleed it from the slave?

Guessing it's the clutch master cylinder so have ordered one.
Effing thing. I'm 100% definitely done with bloody manual gearboxes after this experience :grin:
It makes me laugh when folk choose a manual over DSG because they are afraid it will do exactly what my manual did to me :grin:

At what mileage did this happen? were there any telltale signs before hand or did it just go all of a sudden. Would like to avoid this myself

Can you describe the feeling as still floating with the idea of either the full hose, or a lot of places sell the half hose (plastic snail to gearbox)
The plastic snail thing is supposed to dampen vibrations or something like that from what I have read.......curious to what your feel under foot :smiley:

A pressure bleeder works very well to do this for the clutch/brake system....never had an issue since investing in one

171K miles. No warning signs, just sudden failure. A big pop followed by a thunk as the pedal smashed into the floor.
