Finaly got my belts changed and the dreaded squeek is no more, but unfortunatly after the test drive the clutch decided to give up and piss out all the fluid. and there was quite an audiable pop. not quite sure exactly where the leek is from but its in the general direction of the slave cylinder. so i'm going to get one anyway hoping that is the problem, and if it isn't then the problem will become aparent when the new cylinder is fitted.

 

Just to make sure though (as my local parts provider can't allways be trusted) is it the same cylinder on all models, i.e. uk spec, jap spec, TT or auto etc.

 

Thanks

probably the flexi pipe i had this go on mine and i thought it was the slave cylinder check that pipe first :)

which pipe? its had a braded hose put on it but whoever fitted it didn't run it properly, it was dangerously close to the exhaust and getting a little brown. but all the ones i've seen on ebay look way to small.

ah have you got a hose straight from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder

I think its possible to replace the entire pipe with flexi pipe, direct from the master to the slave.

 

30651 is the flexi pipe on the standard setup (this is NA, but you get the idea) -

 

Yes z centre do them its just a case of whether it has been done as it is aftermarket mod

turns out it was the flexi pipe, so chears Gonzo, gunna change the cylinder anyway. i have got one long hose direct from the master to the slave. i've ordered a replacement from Z centre. so hopefully it'll be here soon.
