Broke down! Clutch pipe!?

[parello9]

So put my foot on the clutch the other day, dropped straight to the floor

 

Thought may have a leak in the clutch pipe or something else!

 

 

 

 

My mechanic just called me and said its the clutch flexi pipe split/broke

 

 

is this a common problem? just general wear and tear?

 

Also is this the correct part to be ordering

Its a bummer though when your cars broke

 

Whats the average price people think a garage would charge?

 

£50 for the tow truck to garage?

£50 1 hour labour?

£25 pipe?

No it's not common, slave cylinder or master cylinder yes,iirc clarks do a braided line as a replacement

 

Those figures sound reasonable

 

Unless it has been rubbing on something it's most likely wear and tear, they usually bubble at a weak point and burst

 

You need fluid adding to the list

Never heard of that before, been on here 4 years.

Is it possibly the slave cylinder? Mine went and the clutch pedal went to the floor. Usually due to overheating though, rather than a complete fail? Defo worth doing the braided line either way.

yeh i thought it was strange!

 

He said has it felt different lately i said no so must have just gone through wear and tear?

so it is strange yeh but think ima just have to buy that hose/pipe
