Clutch Master Or Clutch Slave Cylinder, Removal And Installation Information

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2016 Audi A4 Quattro, 2015 Audi S4, 2015 Audi A4 Quattro, 2014 Audi S4, and 2014 Audi A4 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If master or clutch master or slave cylinder must be replaced because it is faulty, run a function test first. Refer to CLUTCH MASTER AND CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER, CHECKING .
If the clutch slave cylinder is removed from the transmission with hose/line assembly connector, do not operate (depress) clutch pedal any more. Otherwise, the pistons are pushed out of the clutch slave cylinder and thus damaged.
Carefully actuate the clutch pedal after installing the clutch slave cylinder. If an abnormally difficult pressure point is noticed when depressing the clutch pedal, do not depress the clutch pedal any further. The plunger of the clutch slave cylinder was probably guided past the clutch release lever. Beyond a pedal force of approximately 300 N, clutch slave cylinder is destroyed.
