leon pd150 sachs clutch help.....

[HamO]

Right I bought my leon a year ago with this clutcj already fitted. Its not slipping or high and is working as it should. Lately though when I am in gear generally slwoing doqwn or stopped I pus hthe clutch right to the floor but it doesnt disengage fully and im still being dragged forward. Its not enough to stall the engine when I brake but enough to plow into mavis at the zebra crossing should I forget... I dont know if theres a connector to the cabling that that can slip after time and just needs to be retightened or something? I also read something about the fly wheel being on the way could cause this...

Any help would be appreciated ) and aorry for my dodgy english. This tablet isnt worth thw light

Sounds like the clutch master cylinder is on its way out, it's a hydraulic cylinder that is inside the gearbox, mine went a couple of years ago with exactly the same symptoms as yours, only about £45 for the part but bad news is that gearbox needs to come off to replace it.

You could try bleeding it

Is there any way to test for this? or should I just replacr it being only £45

its not just £45 - its the cost of removing the gearbox and refitting it...
