Occasionally, after 1/2 hour or more driving, in dry weather and when the engine is thoroughly warmed up, the clutch pedal makes "creaky" noises and becomes sticky, making hill starts and clutch control in traffic queues difficult. I am fairly certain this is a common panda problem usually solved by replacing the clutch slave cylinder.
I seem to be out of luck with LUK at the moment. the LUK slave cylinder for a 2010 Panda 100hp (512 0045 10) is out of stock everywhere. I phoned the UK distributor and was told supply has been a problem for months and may not be much better for several weeks. Other manufacturers compatible items are also out of stock. Internet searches sometimes look promising but when I actually try to order the stock is not available.
Has anyone had any success with temporary maintenance of the slave cylinder piston? Grease, oil or WD40 etc?
