clutch pedal,

Post by roverv8 »

Hi,
have fitted the gearbox to pug, when i removed the box the pedal would only go down half way and no more, (i now know why) :shock: now i have fitted new clutch and box is back in vehicle but pedal has gone right to the floor ,is it just a case of bleeding or is there something else?
from what i could see i lined up the slave cylinder rod to the clutch fork so that should be ok,

providing the fork is attached to the release bearing, its just a case of bleeding the system mate :| :wink:

Remove the slave and shove your fingers in to see if the fork's either flapping about, or stuck in a sunk position.

It's quite possible the bearing's popped out of the pressure plate. It happened to me as a result of a failed bearing, so I needed to do all the work again :cry:

some one please tell me this is a load of old rubbish,

clutch bleeding,
If it's the 2.1td 12v model it's a sealed system, the whole unit must be replaced (£198 for parts only) That includes pipes, master/slave cylinder & reservoir already made up with a "snap off" clip that breaks on first use of the pedal and starts the thing working. There is no bleed facility.
:shock:

Presuming you've got a D8, you'll be wanting a complete replacement hydraulic system. Shouldn't be too hard to find one on ebay or a breakers yard
