Hi all,

i have a puddle of fluid on the floor and classic slave cylinder failure symptoms….( the master cylinder was replaced along with pedal box before i bought it and that looks all nicely aligned and is bone dry i have had 3 failures of these on previous t4 so i'm deffo not losing fluid from there ) i am at work now so can't get underneath it to check the slave, can anyone tell me if it's an external or internal slave it's a 2003 caravelle acv 102bhp so has the vw gearbox !
Thanks !!!

The slave cylinder is mounted inside the bell housing in the 2003 TDI. The gearbox has to come out.

Thanks for the reply and obviously not the answer i was hoping for !!!

I remember bleeding my old 2.5tdi 2002 from the slave cylinder now... that was definitely external but was the 88bhp one with a different gearbox to my 2003 102bhp

Oh well see what happens when i investigate further !
