replace new clutch

[domingosalves]

hi everyone
i need some help about my peugeot 406 1.8 LX rapier petrol
last week i start getting noise problems with my clutch and i decide to get a new clutch, i was quoted £392 pounds for new one and it was the cheapest i found in my area.
the problem is the clutch noise gone but pedal still to high to start.
my clutch is hidralic.
what i need to know is this allright or is some thing not done properly, new clutch should start at low pedal
thanks

my clutch pedel is high to start too with 111k on the clock probs on the orignal clutch, but i wont change it til it starts slipping.

id say if yours isnt slipping then leave it be till it does

[lozz]

Theyre all like that arnt they?
everyone ive drove as been High on the peddle ialways thought its just the way they are,





If its no slipping id leave it alone why fix something that isnt broken

i replace the clutch the noise gone but still start to high peddle
why a new clutch wont start at low peddle
thanks

They are all high. On two of my 406's they have been high. When I got the first one, I actually went to a garage to have it checked as the biting point was much higher than any other car I've driven. But the guy said it was normal and it lasted 70,000 miles before I sold it on.

dunno if XUD cluches are different or not but my clutch is nice and low.

its always been nice and low even on my previous clutch before i had it changed about 12 months ago

1.9TD is cable operated - mine was a 2.1TD which was hydraulic, which are always high.

On my 407 the pedal was high at biting point and I assumed it was normal like the 406, but when I did my DMF and clutch....despite the clutch looking fine....the biting point is now low, where you would expect it after a new clutch is fitted.
