<< < (2/3) > >>

barny:
mines been doing this recently, i've now got bleeding the clutch down to a fine art. I cant see any dampness anywhere - well ok it looks like an oil tankers had a crash down there but not clutch related  :lol:

--- Quote from: "ben_haynes" ---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

Ummmm, 200tdi....., slave cylinder is on the off-side and should be 10mm bolts.....

There are a number of potential problems......, slave seals have gone, slave cylinder has pushed seating through, clutch fork arm seat has worn, clutch fork arm swivel ball has pushed through fork...., take care when you remove the slave cylinder...., not many people fit the retaining clip to the slave rod and as stated, could fall into the bell housing.....

Good luck...., I've just been through it all.......

no mine was 13 mm nuts maybe a bodge by the previous owner, and the 300's are too

Les Henson:
300TDi Disco clutch slave is on drivers side and should be retained by 2 x 10mm head bolts that also secure the damper. Replacing the bolts with studs and nuts is ok, but I don't know why someone would want to do it. The last 300TDi slave that I did rounded one of the bolts really easily and I had to knock a 3/8" socket on it to get it undone. If your clutch fork has punched thought, then there's just enough room on the 200TDi for the piston to come out of the slave far enough for the fluid to be dumped inside the bell housing. Clamp the lower flexi pipe and press the clutch pedal - if it's solid, then the slave or fork is the problem.

Also lift the carpet and check the master cylinder hasn't leaked as they tend to leak inside the car.
