Car: Mk5 Golf 1.3 2008

Mileage: 93,000KM

 

Desc:

Coming off pearse street , I noticed the pedal was not retracting fully , everytime I engaged the clutch, the Clutch pedal would stay closer to the floor , got as far as CHQ (IFSC) pedal was on the deck ( 200 meters)

 

Fix:

 

I pulled the clutch pedal back up with my foot , I had a fully functioning clutch again; bite point , pedal effort ... is all working as expected ; drove it home from the City centre to Swords in traffic , no issues ; pedal was consistent

 

Check Over:

 

As far as I know clutch was never changed in the car

  • Clutch Fluid was done last service , 2K KM
  • Clutch Fluid is clear
  • Clutch Fluid still at correct level
  • Clutch is not slipping
  • Never had issue with the clutch prior

 

 

Checked for fluid leaks, No LEAKS

  • Brake fluid reservoir
  • Supply Hose
  • Master Cylinder
  • Slave Cylinder
  • Bleeder Valve
  • All Hoses
  • Gearbox mounting area
  • Clutch Pedal (inside drivers compartment)

 

 

Any Idea's ? Not too sure if there is any point giving it into a garage if I have no visible issue or symptoms now?

Sounds like a master or slave cylinder, same thing happened to my van I did that and worked for a while,in the end I had to have a total clutch replacement done. Hopefully you will be ok.
