question on CGT clutch master and slave cylinder

[SIMON HOLTBY]

Ed,

Try looking in the archives for information on this topic. It is quite a
common fault with these cars. I think the most common fault is with the
slave cylinder.
I changed mine by removing the left front wheel and used a drift that
fitted in a suitable socket that was connected to several socket
extensions which meant I could do the hammering under the wheel arch. An
assistant held the drift in the correct position.
It is a real pain of a job.
The drift must be the correct size. Too small and it will go through the
center of the split pin and too large you will just be hitting the clutch
bellhouseing.
When you remove the slave cylinder you will know if it is faulty if the 
rubber boot is full of fluid.
I had no problem bleeding my new one manually but Audi says it can only be
done with a pressure bleeder.
By the way dont knock that split pin right out as it will be difficult to
refit. If the cylinder is tight after shifting the pin use a long piece of
wood and a mallet 

Regards
