Clutch problem...
Hi everybody,
Took delivery of an '08 TT Cab back in December. Love the way it looks in Cobalt Blue.
Anyway, a few times I noticed that the clutch pedal would only come up about 2 inches. You would have to physically reach down and pull the pedal up.
Originally I thought that this was a cold weather problem (I know, Arizona doesn't get that cold), but the other day it happened again. The clutch was basically on or off, no play in between. Made it pretty interesting getting to the dealership. Luckily it is only a couple miles from the house.
The car is at the dealership now. They just called and said that the clutch fluid is almost empty. They are confused because they can't find any leaks anywhere. They said that they are calling the factory to try and find out what might be going on.
So, I figure that I would ask the community here, since you guys tend to know more than the dealership
Has anyone had any type of similar problem? Anyone want to guess what might be going on with the car?
Thanks,
Adam

Nope, no brake issues that I have noted. Although, the car barely has 2,000 miles on it and it hasn't been pushed too hard.
I heard back from the dealer this afternoon. Porsche has authorized the entire clutch assembly to be replaced, even though they couldn't find any cause of the problem. Looks like I have to break the car in again.
