Default 2.8 quattro clutch problems

I have a 1999 A4 2.8Q manual, recently there seems to be too much play in the clutch pedal when starting from cold but when the car warms up the pedal becomes firm again. what could this be?

Thanks

did you check the hydraulic fluid? My clutch was soft until I filled up the hydraulic fluid, then it was fine again
