A6 S Line TDI Ultra 2015 Clutch problem

Featured Replies

Evening all,

on my last journey my clutch suddenly became very soft and the biting point dropped very close to the floor. I only had a few miles of the trip left so I slowed down and changed gear as little as possible. There were no issues with changing gears and I could move off with no problems too. I had to park it up to catch a flight and won’t get back to it for 2 weeks. 

Any gurus here have any ideas whether it’s the master/slave/flywheel/clutch? Or a combination? And whether I should drive it on return after some checks and topping up of fluids or just call for a tow back to where I’m going?

Thanks in advance.

Clutch wear does not happen suddenly so it's most likely air in the hydraulic system. Top up the fluid if it is low and it might restore enough action to get you home. If extra fluid makes no difference it would risk gearbox damage to drive it.

Sounds good I’ll top it up and check for leaks, pump the clutch and if it seems to improve I’ll get it back. Thanks for the help.
