Your clutch fluid reservoir may need brake fluid-yes, it uses brake fluid as a hydraulic fluid. Check reservoir on the firewall. It will sit beside the brake master cylinder. The reservoir sits atop the clutch master cylinder. If it was dry, the clutch may need bleeding down at the slave cylinder on the transmission housing-where the clutch fork sticks out of the transaxle.. Open the bleed valve on the slave cylinder, and have someone slowly press clutch down. Keep bleeding until a steady stream of fluid comes out when clutch is pressed. Then close bleed valve, check clutch operation-pedal should have some pressure on it now.
924 has cable operated clutch. When the cable on mine broke pedal went straight to the floor, hydraulic usually much slower to get to floor. Cable is an easy replacement. bleeding hydraulic usually done from nipple on slave cylinder (near release arm on clutch housing.
U have a broken hose, replace the hose . Take the broken hose to a parts dealer. Refill the master cylinder that powers the hose,with the proper fluid.
One end of the hose will screw into master cylinder.
if the fluid is low, the hydraulic system is bad. plan on replacing the master and slave cylinder. If the fluid is OK, then watch the linkage when pressing the clutch pedal. I ASSUME it has linkage but I dont know what year or model you have? the trans will have to come out to service the clutch slave and in that case you may need to replace the clutch assembly. Plan on a new clutch, master and slave cylinder.
Depending how many miles are on the vehicle, the clutch plate may need to be replaced. Do you hear any strange "grinding" noises when engaging or disengaging the clutch? I'm assuming you have checked the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir and it is full. You may also want to change the fluid as hydraulic fluid deteriorates over time and it may not be completely disengaging the clutch. Please rate this answer, thanks.
The fact that the clutch pedal went to the floor and stayed there suggest a fault in the master cylinder. It may be that you need to overhaul the master cylinder.
THEY PUT IN NEW FLUID AND BLEED AIR OUT OF THE SLAVE MASTERCYLINDER.IF THE CLUTCH PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR AGAIN.YOU HAVE A LEAK AT CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER.OR THE MASTER CYLINDER IT SELF GOING BAD.
the first thing that i would check is the fluid level in the clutch master cylinder. It is just like the brake system. When there is not enough fluid or if there is air in the system this can cause the pedal to go to the floor. If this is ok then a portion of the clutch MIGHT have went out. Let me know if the hydraulics are ok.
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?
