Not so many weeks ago a dashboard message that brake fluid was low popped up. I checked in to my local garage, the fluid was topped up but with no other symptoms off I went. In the last week the clutch pedal is only returning to halfway,the clutch bite point is nearly on the floor. No slipping clutch but clearly something is amiss. It's booked in Thursday for a 'look at'. I'm guessing it's the CSC unit that's failed, which means a new clutch and DMF if it's located inside the clutch housing. Immediately before the latest symptoms there was a powerful smell similar to BBQ lighter fluid at the end of a couple of journeys, suggesting fluid is leaking out somewhere. With the way my luck is running right now I'm going worst case scenario. Can anyone confirm the location of the CSC on a 1.6D Drive please?
