« on: 15 April 2013, 17:27 »
hi i have a mk4 golf 1.8t auq lately the clutch pedal has been playing up when i first start the car the first half of the pedal is light and the second half is like the clutch has all ways felt like after a thew pumps it goes bk to normal i have bled it and it seem to go away for about 3 days then come bk it dose not all ways do it but most the time it dose it and when i have been on a long drive on the motorway it will do it and i will have to pump it to get it back to normal. any ideas what it could be have looked on the net and it seems the Master Cylinder keeps popping up

Well if your having to pump the pedal to get clutch operation then you have a hydraulic problem, you could try bleeding it but if that does not fix the issue which I doubt it will tbh, then your looking at slave or master cylinder problem.

Could be a leak somewhere if its k for 3 days then goes back to way it was. Get checked out by garage mate see if they can see any signs of fluid leakage :wink:

Just been looking all over the car for leaks and i cant find any and i have not lost any fluid . When i pump the clutch pedal i can hear a squeaking noise thought it was coming from the pedal but my mate said its coming from the gear box

Bled the clutch today . When i first opened the nipple and my mate pumped the pedal it was all bubbles coming out then after a thew times me opening and closing the nipple it started going clear so thought result but then i thought i best try it a thew more times to make sure there is no air in there when i undone the nipple the pedal shot to the floor and more bubbles come out after a thew more times bleeding it it went clear so done the nipple up pumped the pedal a thew more time un done the nipple and the same thing came out all bubbles :s so all we done was bled it all again till it was all clear done it up and left it i took it for a test drive and it is perfect but it done this last time and after about 4 days it starts going soft . I dont understand why there is so many bubbles coming out after pumping it its like foam . Hopfully this might narrow it down a bit to what it could be if any one has had this before
