Audi A3 clutch pedal issue

[sasha1712]

Hi

looking for some advice. Ive got a 2014 a3 2.0l diesel and the clutch pedal keeps going to the floor. It’s happened a couple of time and will return to normal position if I pull it up. Today I’ve come out and the pedal went straight to the floor. If I pump it up and down several time it will eventually feel normal and return to the correct position. But then it does it again after a few minutes. 
 

any suggestions?

Hello Stephen, 

Sorry to hear of your issues. 

I think this is an hydraulic rather than a cable operate clutch.

 If I’m right, it wouldn’t surprise me if the problem turns out to be due to a faulty clutch release cylinder. If so, the bad news is it now usually lives in the gearbox bell housing - with obvious affects on the scale of repair charges. In days of old, these used to be sensibly located outside the housing and their replacement was simple. 

If it is this, then it would be worth replacing the whole clutch assembly - once known as a 3 part clutch. If not using Audi parts then my only alternative would be to use LUK clutch kits, without exception. Dual mass flywheel replacement at same time? Depends on mileage etc. 

Let’s hope it isn’t what I think it is.

Kind regards,

Gareth.
