So I've got myself one of them ol' clutch master cylinders, because, yeah......pedal to the floor action in the middle of rush hour :fighting:
Thing is, the new one doesn't move...like, at all! I can push on the rod as hard as hell and the piston doesn't move. Is that normal? Does the clutch position sensor energise some kind of solenoid or something?
I don't want to go through the faff of putting it in if it's faulty. Any tips?

Not a clue sorry :grin: but as its Darkside retailer I'd email/call them. I've rung/emailed before and just asked for general advice and Ryan one of the twin owners who does the racing and YouTube videos is a VAG geek like the rest of us and is just happy to talk and give good advice whether you're a paying customer or not I've found.

Cheers chap :happy2: Yeah they're great. I'm glued to their YT videos! Obviously been watching all of their VAG/BMW diesel mod videos lately off the back of my other thread :grin: If I do end up with a 335d or something, that is where I'll be taking it :smiley:
I'm probably just being a dumb arse and it's not moving because it needs the leverage of your foot on a pedal, but my intuitive and questioning mind just says it should move freely when not connected to anything :grin:
Oh well, I guess I'll find out tomorrow when I fit the sodding thing :grin:
