I have recently been having problems with my Seat Leon cupra, At first while cold it was difficult to select a gear until it had warmed up, then the pedal started to stay down and I was having to pull it back up once I changed gear. Now the pedal is completely on the floor.

I have read up and spoken to various people who have all said the same, Slave cylinder, I have checked and can not see any signs of fluid loss and there has been no slipping on the clutch or vibrations suggesting the DMF has gone.

Almost certainly slave, the fluid loss could be into the bell-housing.

Would you suggest changing the clutch and DMF while the gearbox is out?

If the DMF and clutch are likely to be heading towards the end of their lives then it makes sense to combine the labour with the Slave change. Obviously you won't know for sure how worn they are until the gearbox is off.

As has been staid immediately above, if there is any doubt, then yes, if not the slave is a cheap quick fix.

I presume that means the master cylinder is still full?
