• I have a 1997 Audi A4 1.8T FWD, now a couple months ago my clutch dropped the floor an wouldn't come back up, after about 10 minutes of pumping it, the pedal came back up and i drove it home, i bled the clutch thinking that was the problem, well just a couple days ago sadly i had to get it towed because it decided to drop again an didnt come back up at all, got it home and tried pumping again an it came back up an hasnt dropped since, I've looked at other forums but was wondering what the common problem could be...before i go dumping money into a new clutch, pressure plate, slave an master cylinder i have checked my floor its not wet, ive checked underneath my car an no wet spots, should i just replace everything? Or what do you think it could be...thank you in advance!

If you are not leaking fluid the first place I'd look is the master cylinder. They can leak internally just returning the fluid to the reservoir. Keep in mind that the slave can leak into the bell housing, and it may just take it a while before it shows up on the ground. Anyway, sounds like a hydraulic issue, although that does not mean that the clutch itself is not worn (old parts cause the hydraulics to operate in a new position, which can cause them to leak).
