Hi,

 

After some advice / help please.

 

Got an 04 1.9 TDi VRS, it's not mapped, I do have an IP power by PSI motorsport upgrade box thing: http://www.psi-motorsport.com/turbodiesel/ippower-e.php

(Sorry can't remember the technical name for it) 

 

Over the past few weeks I've been experiencing weird clutch problems the symptoms are, whilst coming to a stop (in 1st gear) basically the engine / clutch still feels engaged at times even though I've got my clutch pressed all the way down, the only thing stopping it form driving / moving is due to my foot still being on the brake. When this does happen the gear box locks up a bit too so it's difficult to to get the car out of or into first or reverse gears. This mainly happens when I'm in traffic and having to start / stop the car a lot. Once the car is moving and I get into second gear on-wards the clutch / drive is fine.

This morning it was noticeably worse, I took it to my local garage and they think that it may have something to do with the DMF / clutch. After a bit of Googling I see that some posts on this site indictae that it may also have something to do with the slave cylinder.

 

I'm hoping that someone on here knows what my problem is or have experienced the same fault, any advice / help will be greatly appreciated.

 

If you need any more details, ask away.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Stu.

i ve got exactly the same problems. i was thinking clutch slave cylinder  - will have a look tonight.

Hi,

 

I've had the same thing as you're describing. It turned out to be the seals on the slave cylinder that had gone.

 

I changed the flywheel/clutch/CSC all at once and the problem was solved.

 

Genuine Sachs Clutch Kit on Car Parts 4 Less at the moment for £300ish, CP4L Part numbers:

I hope this helps.

Slave cylinder I'd go for, my Golf did the same and it was fine after that. And it's the cheapest fix first. Clutch and DMF ideally need to be removed to confirm unless obvious clatter and clutch slip .

Hi, just signed in and noticed your replies. I really appreciate the feedback and help / advice.

My car is currently at a repair centre having a bit of body work sorted after a little ding I had the other day, bit gutted about it but can't grumble as it was my own fault.

When I get it back I think I'll look into the slave cylinder problem, my car has done 126'000 miles now and I have no idea when the clutch was changed last, I guess it would make sense to just replace the whole assembly (clutch / DMF / CSC)

Thanks to all again.
