clutch problem
« on: May 23, 2017, 20:20:14 »
Hi,

So today i was driving i suddenly i felt how step by step i could not push the clutch a lot anymore.
No oil is gone.
On the gearbox (i mean the other pump) everything looks fine.
I guess it is the pump on the inside off the car that is broken

If i press the pedal, you see what is moving, but at the clutch nothing is moving.

So now i can only push the clutch about 1/2 centimetre. (about 1/5 inch) and pedal is not coming back.
All the rest of the movement i got no pressure or resistance.

I attached a link to the movie, maybe this is helpfull.

thanks

I have the same problem last week.
Not a big work.
The holder with the rubber can be pulled off and put on the new cylinder.

As a replacement for the hose under the reservoir.

Hi,

Just to give a little feedback.

I took the pump off, the piston was still down. With an m8 bolt i could pull it back out.
Also, my oil was in terrible condition...

So pomps ordered and now oil and should work.
