i had to change the clutch master cylinder on my 2012 superb . its a pig of a job from the start due to space to get at things all done except there is no way i can get the pressure pipe back in its one of those rubber cone with a clip things but i cant compress it enough to get the clip on. any one done one or any ideas
 
OOps...

I was going to suggest that on day one... but I thought it was too obvious :rofl: Sorry.

I have the same setup on my VW Touran, and it was really simple to do... though I ended up changing to a stainless braided line to try to make the feel better - not sure why VW-group can't manage to make a nice feeling clutch!

most of the vw group cars seem to have the same cylinder and the same problem the clutch pedal goes to the floor and stays there. it would be simple to do if there was space to get at it . the braided line is a good idea.
 
Mine is quite a bit easier, as I have installed the VR6 complete drivetrain from a Golf R32... the VR6 leans forward and there is quite a bit of space over the back. The Diesels and 4 cyl petrols leans backwards, putting them so much closer to the firewall.

The Braided line got rid of the pressure pod looking thing on the firewall, plus fitted an ECS alloy bleeder block (removing the factory one with the restriction in it) It feels much nicer, but we previously had a BMW E39 with the delay valve removed - it had a very nice feeling clutch - so everything gets compared to that now ;-)

I remember doing mine - there is the odd shaped hat seal, and the other fittings have o rings. I remember I blew one apart at one point, spraying brake fluid everywhere!
