could also be a thrust bearing sticking on the sleeve that it slides over.

 

is the 2.0 16v a cable or hydraulic clutch? if hydraulic have you checked for fluid leaks and if cable have you checked for any damage or fraying of the cable?

my pedal sticks somtimes, but only if its been stood for 3 or more days and when giving it some on a long journey,but it comes up again afterwards

things to do are

 

bleed um brakes too.

bleed again using a power bleed.

 

if this fails replace slave

then if its still fucked

replace master.

 

 

heres a test. hold down pedal and engage gear. hold pedal for a minute or 2. if the car starts to grumble and pull forward or stall its cos the fluid is passing the seals in one of the cylinders. best to replace both as it saves a job and the new one is opften too strong for the other old one.

cheers guys..

 

funny enuff just picked up her in doors and on way home brakes started to feel a bit ropey and even struggled to get a gear twice at lights..

 

its going into garage tomorrow morning.. fingers crossed..

 

but will get all brakes bled first and see if that solves it. . .

 

bloody love corrados .. but mine seems to want new everything !!!!

 

guess thats one of the joys of falling in love with an old bird

but all done and dusted...

 

but none too cheap.. but eh the joys of C ownership
