Ok so i'm not so sure this is that big of a problem but every once in a while, mainly in the morning when its cold and when i first start my car, when i push my clutch in to change gears it doesnt come back up. It gets stuck and i have to pull it up with my shoe. Has anybody ever had this happen to them and is this a serious problem or should i check some fluids? Please inform? THanks

 

Sounds like your slave cylinder. Make sure your brake master cylinder reservoir is full. You can try bleeding the slave cylinder but more than likely it is failing and will need to be replaced.

 

Thanks, where can i find this Slave cylinder on my car?

 

Perform The Following:

1. Check the Clutch Master Cylinder reservoir, if it is low refill it with Brake Fluid. Note though that this is a classic indicator of a bad Master Cylinder. I encountered this problem on my old Corrado which probably uses a similar design to the TTs
2. Check to make sure no connections are damage this includes both the clutch pedal apparatus and all other attachments.
3. If this does not fix the problem I would contact the dealer, don't worry it can't cost to much as it appears from your description that apart from your one problem the cluthc works just fine. If

Hi, this is the exact same problem I have, did you eventually sort it ? and what did it turn out to be ? Thanks[&:]

 

Well I never got it fixed, but I believe I have a leak somewhere because every so often I have totop my brake fluid back off. I eventually am going to get a stage 2 clutch so I figured I would get it fixed then.

 

^wise choice because the gearbox has to be removed to change the slave cylinder which is a part of the release bearing that's on a 2001 TT as you dont mention the age of the car

 

Oh but I do . See below
