Hello,

I recently purchased a used Audi 200 Quattro Turbo, last week actually.

I put in almost 300 miles due to extensive commuting plus went out of town this past weekend.

Last time I drove it was this past Sunday night and yesterday I worked from home. This morning, I noticed that my cluthc pedal was not aligned with my brake pedal and it was actually halfway down.

I attempted to pull it back up with the tip of my shoes--thinking maybe it was frozen because of the frigid weather--but after stepping on it, it goes back to the halfway point.

I drove it around to see if the cluth is working...didnt drive it far but the clutch was actually a short press between gears. What could possibly make the clutch pedal become this way?

I am about to go home to see if the pedal is still in that state as this morning. Last time I drove it--and recall the clutch pedal being fully extended out...aligned with the brake pedal.

Any help or insight on what I should do would be appreciated.

Thanks!

i say either bleed it or maybe you need a new plate?

Possibly time for a new clutch master and slave.

Yep, since new car check basics. Bleed 1st, then consider clutch master/slave.

Yes, good thinking

If it pops back to normal position with a little encouragement from your toe, it may be a worn bushing where the pedal pivots or a tired spring.

Thanks to everyone for replying to my post.

This evening, I returned home from work and saw that the clutch pedal is back to its normal self--meaning it is not halfway pressed and aligned with the brake pedal.

What does this mean? Do I still need to bleed the line?

How much will it cost me to bleed the line? How much for a master/slave or new clutch?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Actually, I did try to pop it back up yesterday morning but after pressing the clutch pedal down it stayed halfway down.

Last night, after work, I saw that it popped itself back up to normal position.

Would it still mean that I have a worn bushing or tired spring?

Just wondering if the cold weather had anything to do with this?
