Clutch problems?

(1/3) > >>

winx:
About 3 miles from home my 200tdi clutch pedal started to go to the floor with a load of dead travel, nursed it homewith no gear changes but was really difficult to get reverse to park up.

Clutch fluid reservior is empty and can't see a split pipe.  Is this likely to be the slave cylinder? I take it they are fairly easy to change on a driveway?

Disco-Ron:
Easy enough to change cos you can just slide underneath..... is there any dampness anywhere there shouldn't be???

dave_2A_2.25Turbo:
It could also be the pipe from the damper to the slave - mine fractured inside the lower union.  A very nice local chap re-flared it for me FOC (my kit was 150 miles away) and it;s been fine since

winx:
cheers for that guys, I will have a look after work tomorrow as it is dark now.  Will let you know how it goes!

ben_haynes:
yes it is very likely to be the slave has pushed through the clutch fork

the slave cylinder is very easy to remove on the drive look between the Engine and Gearbox underneath by the exhaust, it is located there and it is held in by two 1/2 inch (13mm) nuts, take it out and check the pin is still inside the slave cylinder if it is not there then it is a gearbox out job
