RS Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 Recently, the clutch pedal on my S3 stuck in the almsot fully engaged position with the clutch fully disengaged. Since I was moving when it happened, I was able to get the car out of gear and bring it to a standstill, but was then not able to engage any gears to move the car. On seeking help from a more knowlegable person using the Audi Roadside Assistance, he managed to fix the problem by pulling the pedal back and advised me that the clutch pedal mechanism becomes stuck and that it is quite a common problem with VAG cars. In three years of owning an Audi, this is not something I have experienced before nor heard about. Has anybody else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richyboy Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 Why not spray some WD/40 onto the clutch pedal pviot point may save some future problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanS3 Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 Sounds weird? I've had loads of clutch problems with mine, but this has never happened. Maybe it just needs a bit of lubrication or something, ask you dealer. they'll probably be able to sort it in minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted January 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 It's going to the dealer for inspection / adjustment / lubrication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison1379134007 Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 and people say im just a computer geek!! so you me a fiver then right? glad your getting it sorted... i had exactly the same thing happen to me... one thing to check when you have the new cylinder in... that there is no travel on the cutch pedal before the actual cylinder is engaged... you'll know what i mean as soon as you try it if they did leave any travel in it!

khufu Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 my master cylinder went on my old bmw while sitting at lights. I was in gear at the time too - glad I had the handbrake on 'cause it lurched forward and stalled. Least I didnt hit car in front - left a nice stain on my cream coloured carpet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
