Hello there. New to this forum.
I have a 2018 Civic Si and this morning my clutch pedal just sink to the floor and didn’t come back up. I didn’t want to risk driving it, so I had it tow to my the local Honda dealer, less than a mile away. Dealer said that they need to replace the clutch cylinder under warranty. They also recommend me to change my brake fluid, transmission fluid, and air filters (even I change it less than 8 months ago). I tell them to just do the warranty work. Then the dealer said that I need to pay the $150 brake fluid change for them to do the cylinder replacement because the fluid was dirty and they need to bleed the brakes and clutch.
My brother was going to help replace the brake fluid in a couple of weeks when we switch out the winter tires. He did look at the fluid reservoir before I had it tow to check for leak. There was no leak and the fluid look fine. Didn't want to pay for fluid change since we can DIY for cheaper. My question is if they must change the fluid to do the warranty work anyway why do I have to pay for it? Is this normal or is the dealer trying to make a sale?
My Civic is 3 years old in August and has almost 27k miles. Everything is stock and I don’t drive hard. Just wanted a SI for my first manual car. Kind of having a lot of problem with this car.
