Our 2.0 170PS TDI is about to have its 3rd Clutch master Cylinder fitted in as many years.

Problem is it "sticks down".

Any suggestions why? Is this known problem?

A.

Assuming they have followed the bulletin on replacing the seals on the bleed tube?

Has it got air in it when it sticks down?

Can you tell me more about this Bulletin on replacing the seals on the bleed tube?

It's not air each time - the actual master Cylinder has failed.

Apparently the larger-engined Golfs suffer from the same problem?

Dealer bleed system and pronounced the Hydraulics OK. But they decided it still felt funny so they replaced the Pedal, Bracket at links. All covered under warranty.

Took them two days. Got the car back 5pm last night.

2pm today, driving towards a junction, foot on clutch to change down. Pedal to floor, no clutch, pedal doesn't come back.

Skoda Assist reckon that the Master Cylinder they tested and pronounced ok on Thursday is totally FUBAR.

<sigh>

We're going on a busy weekend this weekend, 600 mile trip around the West Country.

Dealer has found me a Courtesy Car. but it's a bloody Petrol Fabia Estate.

<sigh>

Not really very impressed. Not really very impressed at all. Especially as I said over and over again I thought it was the Clutch Master Cylinder again.
