Hello guys,
I went to take the old girl (S3 petrol) out for a drive yesterday but found that i couldn't select any gears with the engine running,
anyway so I have read up that this is likely a sticking clutch, so on to axel stands she went and after warming her up (in gear with rear wheels spinning) i made progress to a point where i can now select gears whilst the engine is running,
The problem now is that the clutch bite is practically on the floor! very slight movement of the pedal is like dropping the clutch, after much cheering from my tyres, I decided that this is not quite right!
Do i have a hydraulic problem do you think? where is best to start? try bleeding the system? (should i be using DOT4?) or is a full resto required? new slave and master?
Your help would be appreciated!!
