Hi out there ! Recently bought a 993 C2 Varioram - the car of my boyhood dreams ! Just returned from a 1600 mile trip to France when the clutch pedal sank to the floor making gear selection virtually impossible. The dealer assured me when I bought the car that it had a new clutch 10,000 miles earlier and his advise was to physically pull up the clutch pedal, pump the pedal a few times and this would solve the problem which it appeared to do. The dealer says 'they all do it '( don't they always ! ) and is very uninterested in looking at it. But what could be the cause of the problem ?
Can you help please ?

Hydraulic leak? Maybe keep an eye on the fluid level?
