Hi All Members,
My van: 84-1.9L, 4-speed, non ac.
Please help!
It appears that I have a leak in my clutch's hydraulic line.� My clutch
pedal lost its resistance and went all the way to the floor, and engaging
into gear was very difficult (multi-pumping of the clutch pedal to build up
the pressure).
I checked the fluid reservoir, the fluid level was okay.� the brake is
working fine.
I checked the clutch's master cylinder, and it is dry.
I checked the clutch's slave cylinder, and there was�brake fluid everywhere.
Please confirm the diagnosis that I might have a failed slave cylinder.
If yes, I am new to the vanagon era, please advise how to fix the problem.
If not, please give me some suggestion.
FYI, I had the clutch assembly (bearing, pressure plate and disk) replaced
~6mos ago using Sach's parts by Fast German Auto in Santa Ana.
Reading the official Bentley service manual, and to my surprise, I learn
that VW uses the same reservoir for the brake and the clutch.� If so, if
there is any leak in the hydraulic line, both systems will fail.� But my
break is working fine.� Hmmm.� This is very mind boggling.� Please shred
some wisdom to this�poor soul.
Many thanks in advance to all members.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Cheers, Andrew
