clutch prob 200 tdi

clutch pedal has lost pressure till about the last quarter of travel, have put a new clutch in march approx 10.000klm use, replaced masterr cylinder in may when the old one started to leak. theres no sign of leakage at the slave cylinder any thoughts on possible causes of pressure loss, cheers

the adjuster nut on the pushrod has moved itself down the thread.
Open the bonnet, look at the master cylinder, remove the 6 screws that hold the plate on, and then adjust. Itll re0adjust itself in about 5 days unless you tighten the other locknut against it.

cheers will check that out. have also found that there seems to be air in the system now for some reason , there aint no clutch presure at all now. to get a shot of a preasure bleeder tomorrow so will see how it goes from there . cheers

What make of master cylinder did you use? there's a lot of crap Landy parts that take longer to fit than they work. As you say in a later post you now have air in the system I'd bet my last quid you've got a duff master cylinder.
For the sake of a few quid I'd fit a new master and slave cylinder, both are easy to fit, buy them from a good dealer like Famous Four in Louth, use good quality brake fluid and that'll be 'job well done'
