Clicking Clutch

[CupraTgirl]

I have noticed in the last week or so that when i put my foot down on my clutch, it makes a one 'Click' sound! It does it when coming off the clutch but is quieter than when going on it

I have done a searchy and confirmed the two things i thought this would probably be! Pedal Box or Clutch Pedal about to go but i wanted to find out if there was anything else it could be and ways i can check it

I had a new Clutch Pedal fitted about this time last year and it had a double weld done on it to make it more hard wearing! I also cant say it feels any different than normal

The local garage has a quick look and said they could see anything but am i right in saying you need to check behind the Steering Column to check the Pedal Box?

Thank you

Could be the clutch switch. Just ordered one from SEAT in Gatwick for £7.51 + VAT.

Is there a way to check this?

 

[CupraTgirl]

So after all that, any ideas anyone?

You said the garage checked it & they couldnt find anything?

Does it still drive the same? What about trouble changing in to gear?

 

[David_smith_909]

i would say it would be the weld on the peddle starting to die

have a look at it and see what condition it is in, you will be ableto tell if its about to go or not by the stress on the welds

If you do a searchy you may find it!

Please keep this on topic, its important!

SORRY!!!!!

I have no idea!!! It's the switch above the brake light switch in the pedal box. My EPC light come on. Which is probably a bit of a give away!!!!!

They said they had a quick look and couldnt find any cracks or anything

It seems to but im SO scared to drive her at the moment after the problems i have had i havent really noticed anything

When you say trouble changing gear, what do you mean? Wont go into gear or something else?

I havent got any lights on and knowing me itll be the most expensive thing that will need doing!

Yeah changing gear, Sometimes does it not go into gear or tight getting into gear?

 

[David_smith_909]

i know its tight, better safe than sorry tho
squeeze youself down their and have a good look at the welds, check for stress\cracks\holes etc ...... i wouldnt drive it like that tbh, id be too scared

Hhmm i suppose may be a bit but i wouldnt like to say for sure as i havent really driven it really hard for a while

Can you see it just from looking down there?

Surely its ok to drive if its just a clicking sound?

 

[David_smith_909]

have a good feel around also , make sure everything is where it should be etc .....

clicking is the start of things breaking ................

Oh dear, this is not good news at all! The clutch pedal cost me £176 to do last time and the Pedal Box went on my first Cupra and that was done under Warranty but would have cost IIRC about £500

I dont know what to do now! What if i cant see anything?

 

[Ibiza Cupra]

Well mine was clicking. And i drive mine like a kn*b a fair bit!!!!! And the pedal hasn't snapped. But the light has come on. If you need it welded as i told you my brother can weld!!!

 

[David_smith_909]

by the way ff topic: what the hell does iirc mean??

back on topic now

if you cant see or feel anything on the pedal, then its not that, not too sure about the pedal box as iv never had one go, but £500 seems a bit expensive

Yeah you drive different to me

IIRC = If I Recall/Remember Correctly

Yeah thats how much i was told it would probably be by SEAT although i got it done under Warranty so paid nothing
