Creaky/squeeky Clutch Pedal

kev dood · December 31, 2003

For a while now I have noticed that if I am sat in traffic or after a while driving, when pulling away and lifting the clutch pedal up, there is a sort of squeek/creak.

The car was in early this week, but as usual it was not apparent! The lady on the service desk (very helpful too) said that it should just required oiling, but there is a known problem with something behind the clutch pedal type area (sorry forgot actual details). This requires the removal of the gearbox etc to get to the area in question to fix it.

This obviously could cause more problems than it will fix!

Question is, warrenty runs out end of Jan, so do I leave it and hope a squirt of oil will do the trick. Or can I say that as I raised this during the warrenty, will they honour it later??

why take the risk?

take it into the dealers and get it fixed before the warranty runs out.

yeah, will remind them when its in next week. Thing is, if its not making the noise when they get it, theres not much they can do!

Hi! I seem to have the same problem. They have been trying to sort it out by opening the gearbox but still the enoying&squeeky sound from the clutch pedal.

Where ecactly did you spray some WD40?

Ive got the same problem. Ive now had it into the dealers about 3 times.....twice it stopped before I got there ( sods law ) the 1 time it did squeek, they fixed it........for about 4 hrs, when I got it back it was there again.

Its acually embarrasing.

I sprayed some WD40 right up in there, on the coil of the clutch, you really have to stick your head right up there :)

Squeak gone for good...

When I'm driving tho, on the passenger side there's a strange noise I so cannot describe it! It's like someone patting the seat.. any ideas?
