pedal

Recently had my front pads changed and now when braking I can hear something like air escaping when applying the brake pedal - when the noise stops the brakes bite in well, but the travel to that point is not insignificant. Basically the brakes don't really work until I've gone some way down the...

I broke my pedal box on saturday and instead of replacing the whole thing i decided to put a bolt through it and wow the clutch feels so much better and its so much easier to get in gear than ever before. if your box hasnt been welded then i'd recommend doing this sooner rather than later as it...

Ok i have had this weird problem for a while but this week it has seemed to have got 10 times worse ( does it everytime i brake now ) what happens is when braking its ok down from 60 but when it gets below 20 ( as soon as it hits 20 ) there is an awful grinding noise and feel through the...

As you may have seen from the end if this sticky thread here http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=104049 my cluch pedal snapped yesterday :( Anyway i see that quite a few of you have removed the pedal and had this welded before refitting yourselves.. Well this is what i have...

Hi people, Can anyone tell me if it is possible to adjust the height of the clutch pedal on an LCR. The height and biting point on mine is much higher than my old cupra's was and not as stiff either. Getting it serviced in a few weeks and will get them to do it if it can be done. Cheers.

First of all hello to all. Never posted on here before. SWMBO has a 2000 W reg. Ibiza 1.4 with a cable clutch. The pedal box had gradually cracked and bent - enough for the clutch to stop working properly. To be honest, I didn't fancy removing the box etc and fitting a new one. It's a...

Just noticed over the past few days that when I first start driving the Cupra the clutch pedal seems really light to press down and the bitting point seems to be lower than normal... After a couple of miles, the clutch pedal seems to return to the normall bitting point and the normall...

As I return to work from my lunch break I’m just pulling in to my parking space. Left foot down, SNAP! Foot all the way to the floor. I’m guess the clutch pedal box has just gone, as I found a little white plastic clip broken in the footwell. Lucky, I was in the works car park, parking...

hi my clutch pedal decided to hit the floor this morning on my mk3 ibiza 20vt i have taked the panels off to expose top of pedal and the only broken part ive found is a small white clip with a hole going through the middle of it not sure where it came from as it was sitting broken on 1 of the...

hi i was about to take girlfriend to work today (as i normally do) but when i put my foot on the clutch pedal it made a strange noise then just hit the floor and wouldnt pop back up, so i pulled it back with my hands , it went bang poped back up and some bits of white plastic fell out from...

The existing pedal-box has torn slightly where the bracket for the clutch cable is welded onto the main frame.. I collected a new pedal-box on friday, with the intention of changing it today. But the weather, and the missus deciding she had to go to work didn't help. So now I might do it...

Well after winning off ebay the LHD footrest and buying full retail the correct RHD foot rest i thought, hey instead of just throwing the LHD version away as it didnt fit, why dont i like the rest of car, customise it to fit... so off came the other foot rest and after a few templates where cut...

Driving home a few times, i have been braking and it feels like theres grit between the pads and discs, which you can feel thru the pdeal. (there is no grit BTW) Once this happens, everytime the ABS light comes on? Ive just bought a vagcom lead and ill be getting the software soon, but does...

I was cleaning the car today and found there is a grey plastic cylinder about 2inch long that sticks out from the floor ( ie a loud pedal stop ) is this suppose to be here ? and what happens if its taken off do you get 1 inch of extra movement ;) Also why does the rear screen steam up every...

Does anyone have a replaced one (dead pedal), know there is a plastic one, just intrested 2 know if anyone has put a metal one in?

hello! the other day i was going for a drive with my gf and the clutch pedal broke when i was changing gear. some bits fell into the footwell and the pedal went straight to the floor and stopped operating the clutch. the aa bloke who came out bodged it with a bolt so car is still drivable...

I am having the soft break pedal feeling at the moment on my fr. Every thing seems ok, pads and fluids are all ok . As the car has only done 17k ,this seems to be a bit strange. Has anybody else sufferd with this problem? :confused: :confused: .

Just seen BBC Watchdog prog where they have been talking about a problem with the Volvo cars and Volvo not wanting to pay for a repair of a faulty part that was "not fit for purpose".... They did sort the Volvos in the USA and did a proper re-call. Do . . . . Do we have a case here? Should...
