Attention.
- The return of the pedal must not be obstructed by shifted or additional floor coverings (rugs).
- If necessary, remove air from the clutch control drive.
1. First, you should check the brake fluid level in the hydraulic brake reservoir.
Note: The clutch hydraulic system is connected by a supplementary hose (arrow 1) to one of the chambers (arrow 2) of the brake fluid reservoir, as shown in the figure below.
If there is little brake fluid in this chamber, or even no fluid at all, then the system may not be sealed.
(Material is available on the website SKODABOOK)
In this case, it is necessary to check the following parts of the clutch control hydraulic drive for external leaks:
Supplementary hose between the hydraulic brake fluid reservoir and the clutch booster master cylinder.
Clutch control booster master cylinder.
Pipe and hose line or plastic line between the clutch actuator master cylinder and the clutch release actuator slave cylinder.
Connection points (push-on and screw connections) also in places where they are not visible.
Clutch release drive slave cylinder.
Note: External leakage is also indicated by traces of brake fluid on or under the gearbox, as well as on the lower engine casing under the gearbox.
Check that the pipe and hose line or plastic pipe between the master cylinder of the clutch actuator and the slave cylinder of the clutch actuator are correctly laid. The wires must not be bent at an acute angle or pinched anywhere.
2. Then carefully press the clutch pedal, maintaining the pedal along the entire trajectory of the pedal in 5 different positions for about 20 seconds. The second person checks whether the fluid is leaking from the other components of the clutch control hydraulic drive. At the same time, the assistant checks whether the pedal itself does not fall through while maintaining it.
3. Finally, the clutch release slave cylinder should be removed from the gearbox (without opening the tube system) and check the cuff to see if there is any brake fluid leaking from it. To do this, remove the cover from the rod (arrow), shown in the figure below.
