Default 156 Clutch Advice Plse

Hi - 156 1.8 1999 -
Problem with clutch pedal - suddenly gave way - no pressure
at all and unable to change gears.
Clutch master cylinder replaced and all well for a couple of days,
then the problem reoccurs!!
System has been bled & checked for leaks - pedal functions ok again
for a couple of days
but then gives way again!!
Any ideas of what to try next - slave cylinder perhaps???
Any advice greatly appreciated as its driving me crazy!!!

Sounds like your "new" master cylinder was faulty.

Having suffered similar myself on the 75, I'd say that it's definitely a
slave cylinder.

If you are not loosing fluid and all the air is out of the system, it
has to be the seals in either the master cylinder or the slave cylinder
allowing fluid to pass by the piston, and as you have changed the
master cylinder for a new one, it has to be the slave cylinder seals or
chamber worn out.
