Title: Anyone else get this - manual GTI's
Post by: Syrag64 on December 09, 2011, 09:25:29 pm

Hi,

Sometimes when i push my clutch pedal down it stay's down slightly and i have to use my toe under the pedal to get it back up.

Might be master cylinder. Mine had to be replaced under warranty.

I had that after clutch change due to air in the system  :smiley:

Had this a fair amount on old 911's, it can be quite common when they get hot....First step is to bleed the system, get rid of any trapped air, next step is usually rubber seals in the cylinders.

I replaced a slave cylinder on a Vr6, which was cheaper than the last step which would have been the master cylinder.

Someone with more understanding of a mk 5 than me will know if the car has a slave cylinder (i would expect so).
