Title: Clutch problem?
Post by: BigTone on August 27, 2020, 21:08:11

Hello there. Posted on here before but a long time ago. Anyway I have a problem with my 2014 I30 1.6 CRDI clutch. It has been in and had a new clutch put in it but it still bites very close to the floor. The mechanic reckons the slave cylinder is also okay. It feels to me like there is too much movement at that pedal before it starts to put pressure into the system. Has anybody else had any sort of problem like this before?.

Many thanks in advance, Tony
Ps. I’ve got a few other problems with this car which I hope you can help me with  :D

@BigTone
a bell is ringing quietly.  assuming it's bled correctly ,
plastic / nylon bit between pedal and plunger is worn down. Will need to contort yourself to check it.
Could try searching - low clutch pedal

Might have to try something else. Search of "low clutch pedal" only bought up 1 thread which I'm not sure addresses the issue in a way relevant to this issue.

Low clutch 'bite' is a term I've seen here.

Thanks for the suggestion @The Gonz  :goodjob:

"low clutch bite" does bring up a few more in the Google search bar in our search function above.. Although I didn't drill down further.

Ok thanks. Will search for that. Will also try and check out the bush at the top of the pedal.
