Volkswagen: Turbo Beetle clutch sucks, clutch slave cylinder, 5k miles


Question
No, literally... my daughter replaced the clutch about 5K miles ago and just
today I was driving it and the clutch didn't have any pressure and in fact as I
push it in - the pedal gets sucked all the way to the fire wall.

Answer
Hi Mike,

It sounds like the clutch slave cylinder has is empty or was never bled properly when the clutch was replaced.

I would bring it back to the person who installed it and mention that the clutch slave cylinder was not bled correctly.

Good Luck,

Ron
