Hi techies!

I've got a very vague and unfortunately intermittent problem with my 2004 fabia vrs.

Couple of notes - clutch is a Sachs sports/up rates clutch and flywheel (dual mass). Remapped by amd and on coilies.

The issue is apparent when at a standstill and mostly in first gear.

So stopped at traffic lights for example - in first with clutch down, sometimes there is a very very quiet clunk and the car tries to very slowly creep - as if I have released the clutch. Then if I notice this (as also the engine note gets deeper) then I pull it out of first but it gets STUCK! It's possible to yank it out but it's firmly in!

Otherwise this still occurs when first ISN'T selected - if in neutral and I go for first to pull away I then find that first is extremely tough to try and select! Sometimes a rev of the accelerator releases it, sometimes not.

Genuinely concerned that this is gonna be costly!

Any help id be so so grateful for.

Thanks

mine is also doing this mate, its a fairly common problem so i have been told and can be caused be either the master cylinder or the slave cylinder ( cant remember exactly what one). Mine is getting changed and i know its a big job as its the clutch/gearbox side so 3 to 4 hour job to get to it.

Oh hello dude - I'm gonna post a status about it see what the general opinion is.

How much is the part or parts then?

Worth replacing with updated or tdi golf pd150 parts etc?

not sure on price mate, i am going to replace with a OEM item as that should be fine. I can let you know how i get on as i should be having it looked at end of jan or early feb

Nice one dude - ill wait for your feedback (if mine doesn't fail in the meantime!)

Just a heads up unit18 charged me £120 to remove and refit a gearbox. So if your within a few hours drive you'd be well worth going to them.
