Clutch pedal stays down (Hydraulic) 1991 Passat Esate

Post by pointer »

On occasions, my clutch pedal stays down and I have to pull it back by hand when it then works OK for a while until the next time. I suspected the slave cylinder and changed that as it looked knackered. Things improved for a while but the frequency is gradually getting more frequent. I have even put WD40 on the master cylinder piston under the rubber 'boot' which did help for a while but not now !

Could it be anything to do with the over centre spring, or does it mean a new master cylinder ? If the latter, any ideas for getting replacements, preferably not pricey ? :cry: :(( :-?
