Right guys, some might know, but i've got a mk4 gttdi 115bhp model with the 6speed gearbox. Its a 2001 model.
The clutch has had a new master cylinder but not sure if the other part often linked with it was done...can't remember what else it is that usually gets replaced...its not the plastic plunger part that goes into the cylinder from the pedal is it? The reason for replacement was pedal had no resistance until half way down and there was fluid in the drivers footwell from the cylinder!
Well, now i've got no resistance till half way down again and no fluid leaking. Having taken to a garage for a butchers, he reckons its the clutch itself, and possibly the diapraghm for the flywheel??? Seems unlikely as there is no clutch slippage at even when absolutely booting it...first thing I tried. The actual pedal builds up resistance when it gets warmer, and by the end of half an hours driving, there is almost 75% resistance.
The geezer who had a butchers has quoted the missus with £200 labour and £90 for a LUK kit, but he reckons that he can't tell if the car has a dual mass flywheel until the car is stripped and therefore the cost will jump to £360 for a new dual mass flywheel plus the clutch kit on top.
Any thoughts...
