Default Need clutch HELPPPP

My clutch pedal keeps droping to the floor and losing pressure in the pedal, I can pull it up manually and it stays but as soon as i push on the pedal a little it drops down. I wanna order the part this week but not sure if its the slave cylinder or master cylinder, And how hard is it to replace either one of these,...Any input would be great.

More than likely it's the slave cylinder. How many miles?

So this is not a huge problem if your not having problems with the actual clutch meaning the clutch disc and pressure plate or throw out bearing is having problems. then all your going to need is to replace the slave cylinder or master cylinder. The best solution for you to do is replace both so that in the future your not having any kind of problems. the reason why im saying replace both is cuz its likely the slave and master are failing. yet that is not always true. still though bro take my advice in buying both so that in the future your audi won't encounter the same problem later on. if you need the part check out ebay or google wholesale auto parts dealerships get the same parts form wholesale online stores and sell them for double you decide.

I hear what your saying, that's a good idea, I was gonna order from german auto parts seemed like a decent price but I will check out the whole sales. How much of a pain in the *** is it to change those.

I would suggest replacing the Slave first and even checking to see if there are any leaks in the line. No point in replacing the master cylinder if it is not bad, never know if it could be good for another 4-5 years.
