Just noticed a damp patch on my rubber mat under the clutch pedal, had a feel and its an oily residue, checked the clutch and there is also an oily residue on the arm :mad:
Any ideas? Whats the cure? Is it hard to do?
 
If its the same as 300Tdi's, and I would have thought it will be, it's sounds like your clutch master cylinder thats fooked, about £30 ish and a couple of hours work, not really a big job, I managed mine;);) have a search through Busters guides, i'm sure theres one for a master cylinder. I dont know owt about Td5's, but i'm assuming there isn't much difference from a Tdi. I'm sure someone will be along to either agree, or tell me i'm wrong :p:p:p;)
 
you will need to replace master cylinder as that where it leaks ,usually easier to undo 6x bolt holding pedal box in and replacing with pedal box off vehicle,make a special spanner by cutting a slot to go over rod in ring end of combination spanner ,dont over adjust as it can stop fluid returning to res properly
 
Thanks guys, thats what I thought. my haynes manual makes ref to repairing the cylinder with new seals etc and I see kits online for doing this.....would you recommend this or go for a straight replacement?

cheers
 
I just got a new one, but someone else may be able to advise which is easier, obviously the seal kits will be a bit cheaper, but can't be anymore help than that, have a look at busters guides;);)
 
yep, going to replace the full cylinder, bit of a price difference between genuine LR (£77) and some of the other aftermarket ones ranging from £15 to £40ish...........being a tightarse what aftermarket make should I go for?
