Clutch / hot weather


snoged

Recommended Posts

Hi 

I know this has been on here before but cant find the solution , now we have a bit of warmer weather and getting stuck in traffic on the M25 this weekend ,my clutch pedal didnt like  it, and did not want to return to the right height the longer It took to get moving the worse it got.

If I remember right is it a fluid/ pipe problem ? do I just need to change to fluid ?

thanks for any help with this......

Known issue for these cars, combination of old fluid and wearing slave cylinder. Also the clutch flexi rubber hose runs directly under the passenger side cat, so gets rather hot.

 

Id recommended to first change the fluid and then if the matter isn't resolved the line and slave cylinder themselves.

As above. Slave cylinder + braided line + new fluid.

No point mucking about, just get it all done in one go. You can forgo the braided line as it's usually the salve cylinder, but I'd personally recommend it to cover all bases :thumbs:
