Tomas Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Friend of mine with 110 200Tdi has an interesting problem: When the engine is cold, there is no problem, all gears go in and out smoothly. But as soon as the engine and gear box warms up, there is no way he can select the reverse gear unless he switches the engine off. The first gear is also not going in well when hot, but with bit of noise it gets there, the second is more-less OK, and there is no problem at all with the 3rd, 4th and 5th. The clutch master and slave cylinders were changed reecently. Any idea? Thanks, Tomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just adjusting it will sort him out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much furthere it can be adjusted - the clutch pedal is effective already about 1 cm above the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That confirms some sort of clutch trouble then. Replacing the clutch slave can often lead to air being trapped in the lines. It usually bubbles free in a few days, especially if you can park it nose up on a hill or get it off road for a few hours. It'll give you a low pedal and crunchy gears until it clears. I'm pretty sure Les has done a HowTo on clutch adjustment. Getting that right after the air is out will prolong clutch life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
