I pushed the clutch in on my 2004 a4 and it kinda snapped half way down to the floor. After this I restarted the car there was no resistance on the clutch petal. It went all the way to the floor with on ly a very slight pulsing feeling on my foot. I pumped the clutch with no luck. To solve this, I checked the brake fluid which was ok and bled the brake fluid twice with out getting any pressure or resistance on the clutch.
Thanks-
This sounds like a common Audi problem but its usually in early shape A3s and TTs. If you heard a snap, then possibly the pedal has broken where the clutch master cylinder connects to it. In this case you can just replace the pedal but it can be an early sign of a faulty master cylinder. If the pedal is ok, it maybe the master that has failed and needs replacing. Worse cases, the slave cylinder maybe faulty or even the release bearing could be sticking on the input shaft. Bleeding the brakes will not help, the clutch shares the same fluid and reservoir but is on a different hydraulic system. The clutch would need to be bled from the bleed nipple on the slave cylinder on top of the gearbox. This can be difficult without the car on the ramp, but is worth trying before replacing parts. What engine does it have?
My car won't go into gear
If there is no leaking or reducing of brake fluid, then most likely there is an internal leak within the clutch slave cylinder. This slave cylinder will be needing overhauling.
Master cylinder needs rebuilding or if cheaper, a new one seals arent sealing thats is why it feels soft there is no hydraulic happening.

The I did not see any fluid leaking anyway. The car has 32000 miles on it and is equipped with the 1.8 turbo
Ok on futher review this is what I have come up with:
I inspected around and found out that I do have pressure at the slave cylinder. Thats leads me to believe that something is broken with the shifting fork or throwout bearing because the car will drive around the block if you shift it in high RPM's and there for the pressure plate is still grabbing against the clutch plate. I also am not loosing any fluid anywhere in the system.
Great, I have the same problem with my porsche 944. I dont remember hearing a snap but I have no resistance when stepping on the clutch. I actually drove home with this problem. Shifting at good rpms. I replaced and bled the slave cylinder and had no change in the resistance. Next i am off to fixing the master cylinder. Any suggestions? Thanks
