Sticky clutch pedal a3 2011

Is the master cylinder dry on the outside? They can develop cracks. Get your hand to it and check for oil. I replaced one a few weeks ago on my 12 golf

Thank you very much for your feedback guys, the master cylinder is dry as a bone and havent lost any liquid at all

Hi guys,

Bad news, clutch is playing up again... Pedal sticking half way when the car has been sitting for a bit, works of once pumped a few times, feels completly soft pressing it the first half and the biting point is pretty low before pumping.

I wouldnt say it is hard to get it into reverse, but it is definatly not as smoothas before

Does this confirm the slave cylinder?

Classic concentric realise bearing failure.

Thank you for the reply, Im asking alot here but would you by any chance be able to give me the reference number on the sachs full clutch kit using the VIN I pm'd you the other day? Or would you need more info?

Edit: Also with the VIN would you be able to find out which gearbox code I have? As I have come across a few workshop manuals for the gearbox (O2Q,OAJ,etc...)

Vehicle Identification No.	WAUZZZ8P9CA******
Model	audi a3 sportback 2,0 tdi A3
Date of production	01.09.2011
Model year	2012
Sales type	8PABRC
Engine Code	CFFB
Transmission Code	NFU

The NFU is a type 02Q. Sachs only seem to offer the odd Xtend self adjusting kit for that, you would have to go LUK for conventional and they do offer a four piece kit, the 600 0299 00

You sir are a star, you are so helpfull. I am so thankfull for all the advice and help you have given. You think I can drive as is for the moment until I can get round to it in a week or so? Or better not? I shall report back when everything is back in place and another problem comes out of the blue haha

You are unlikely to do any damage but could end up stuck somewhere.

**Disco_jo** · 20-05-2020,11:25 PM

That doesnt sound very fun, i'll try and figure something out and store the car for now

Hi guys ! Im back again ! You were right Crasher, slave is buggered, the rest looks alright to be honest, but as I have the box out im going to pick up a kit. Looking at the kit you linked me it doesnt say for a CFFB engine, nor do any of the oem numbers match up. Is that normal ? You think its deffo for my car? Thanks in advance
