A lithuanian lady exploring Portugal in her VW Golf based small campervan .. had a similar clutch problem . the Portuguese garage mechanic in The Algarve replaced both the clutch slave cylinder and the Clutch master cylinder over the bank holiday last week ..
It sounds like the Lithuanian lady encountered some trouble with her VW Golf campervan's clutch while exploring Portugal. Fortunately, she managed to find a garage mechanic in the Algarve region who was able to help her, despite it being over a bank holiday. The mechanic replaced both the clutch slave cylinder and the clutch master cylinder, which are crucial components of the clutch system. This indicates that there was likely an issue with either one or both of these cylinders causing the clutch problem. Replacing these cylinders should hopefully resolve the issue and allow the Lithuanian lady to continue her exploration of Portugal without any further mechanical problems. It's always fortunate to find reliable help, especially when traveling in a foreign country
I got the replacement slave cylinder from my local parts supplier, NAPA Motors. They usually have a good range of parts for most models, so it’s worth checking with them if you’re looking for something similar. 👍 Thanks for watching, and let me know if you need any more info! 🚗🔧 #SlaveCylinderReplacement #CarParts #NAPAMotors
I just changed my clutch master cylinder after the clutch stuck to the floor. I got a pressure kit and tried to bleed the clutch system but there was nothing coming out of the slave cylinder bleeder nipple. Would this mean my slave cylinder is leaking and needs to be replaced? Thanks
It sounds like you may indeed have a leaking slave cylinder, especially if you're not getting any fluid coming out when trying to bleed the system. The lack of fluid could indicate a leak or blockage in the slave cylinder. It's a good idea to inspect the slave cylinder for any signs of leakage, such as fluid around the cylinder or on the ground beneath it. If you confirm that the slave cylinder is indeed leaking, replacing it should resolve the issue. Make sure to properly bleed the system after replacing the slave cylinder to ensure proper clutch operation. Good luck with your repair!
@@dman123guitarwas it the slave cylinder after? I’m having the same issue..recently changed my clutch and flywheel and since putting it back together the clutch is slipping. I’ve gone to bleed the system but nothing is coming from the slave cylinder nipple, although we pressurised the reservoir tank and made sure it was full off fluid.
If your slave cylinder is leaking when you bleed the clutch, and you suspect the seals might be the issue, it’s important to diagnose the problem accurately to avoid further damage. Here are some potential reasons why your slave cylinder could be leaking during the bleeding process: ### 1. **Worn or Damaged Seals:** - The most common cause of a leaking slave cylinder is worn or damaged seals. Over time, seals can degrade, leading to fluid leaks. If the seals are already compromised, bleeding the system could exacerbate the issue as the pressure forces fluid past the damaged seals. ### 2. **Improper Bleeding Procedure:** - Bleeding the clutch incorrectly can introduce air into the system or put excess pressure on the seals, causing leaks. Make sure you’re following the correct bleeding procedure: - Ensure that the clutch pedal is fully depressed before opening the bleed screw. - Close the bleed screw before releasing the pedal. - Repeat until there are no more air bubbles. ### 3. **Contaminated Brake Fluid:** - Contaminants in the brake fluid, such as dirt or old fluid, can damage the seals in the slave cylinder. Always use fresh, clean fluid when bleeding. ### 4. **Overextension of the Slave Cylinder:** - During the bleeding process, pressing the pedal too forcefully or with too much travel can overextend the slave cylinder, causing the seals to move past the smooth part of the bore and into the rough area, which can damage them. ### 5. **Incorrect Slave Cylinder Installation:** - If the slave cylinder was installed incorrectly or not aligned properly, the seals could be damaged during operation or bleeding. Double-check the installation to ensure everything is correctly seated and aligned. ### 6. **Cylinder Bore Damage:** - The inside of the slave cylinder could be scored or corroded, which can damage new seals quickly. Inspect the bore for any signs of wear or corrosion; if it's damaged, replacing the entire slave cylinder might be necessary. ### **Steps to Fix:** 1. **Inspect the Seals:** Remove the slave cylinder and inspect the seals for wear, cracks, or damage. Replace them if necessary. 2. **Clean the Cylinder Bore:** Clean the bore of the slave cylinder to remove any debris or contaminants that could damage new seals. 3. **Use the Correct Bleeding Procedure:** Follow the manufacturer's recommended bleeding process step-by-step to ensure no air remains in the system. 4. **Replace Fluid:** Use fresh brake fluid and ensure no contaminants enter the system. If the problem persists even after checking the above, it may be worth replacing the slave cylinder entirely, especially if it shows signs of significant wear or damage.

Installed clutch master cylinder and bled it but still the clutch went all way to the bottom and don't come up again, I will be buying slave cylinder and thanks you
It sounds like you're dealing with a frustrating issue with your clutch system. If the clutch pedal goes all the way to the floor and doesn't come back up, it often indicates a problem with either the master cylinder or the slave cylinder, as you suspect. Since you've already replaced and bled the clutch master cylinder, replacing the slave cylinder is a logical next step. However, before you do that, here are a few additional things you might want to check: 1. **Check for Leaks:** Inspect the entire clutch hydraulic system for any signs of fluid leaks. Even a small leak can cause the system to lose pressure, leading to the symptoms you're experiencing. 2. **Air in the System:** Even though you bled the system, it's possible that some air might still be trapped in the lines. Sometimes bleeding the system again or using a different method (like a vacuum or pressure bleeder) can help remove any remaining air. 3. **Clutch Pedal Return Spring:** Ensure that the clutch pedal return spring is intact and properly connected. If the spring is broken or disconnected, it could cause the pedal to stay on the floor. 4. **Fluid Level:** Double-check the clutch fluid reservoir to make sure it's full. Low fluid levels can cause the clutch to malfunction. 5. **Clutch Fork and Pivot:** Inspect the clutch fork and pivot point inside the bell housing. If either of these components is worn or damaged, they could be preventing the clutch from disengaging properly. Replacing the slave cylinder is a good next step, especially if the current one is old or shows signs of wear. After replacing it, be sure to bleed the system thoroughly again. Good luck with your repair! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
