clutch pedal snapped!

[dobs5]

Everything went fine with my attempt at the repair yesterday, two pointers that should help you guys

1. Remove the plastic bushes from the clutch pedal, i didn't and managed to burn one of them.
2. Thread a 5mm cable tie through the clutch spring pull tight, offer the spring into position, then snip the cable tie. Keep your head out of the way - it hurts when the pedal hits your forehead.

All working fine now

I had to do this job what a bitch

My pedal light comes on now and then since the fix, but i give the clutch a little side kick and it soon goes out.

 

[brad_cupra05]

yea this job is a right f*cker just got the other allen bolt out now, just need to get the bracket which holds the sensor to move about an inch then the pedal should come off, hands back neck and ribbs are aching time to leave the rest till tomorrow lol i want to get it back in by sat should be welding it on fri, its a right pain in the arse because i just bought and fitted my jabbasport induction kit and havent been able to give it a road test lol

How crap is that...... I have the jabba induction kit i deff rate it makes the car raw nice, also makes the dump valve louder..

I nearly tourched my car when fixing my clutch i got proper MAD

I have joined the "Broken clutch pedal" club as well

After reading all the threads on here I decided to let a garage do the job (lazy yes, sensible - Hell Yeah!! )

Should be picking it up tomorrow, then I can fit the Dynatwist.

im removing the pedal at the moment how did people get the pedal past the bracket that holds the sensor did you just prise it down because at the moment theres a bit on the clutch pedal which keeps getting caught

 

[kieran_cupra]

I did exactly the same thing with the bush, do you have the part number for it because Seat dont know what i mean and have ordered the wrong part in for me three times, even though i have shown them pictures of where it should go, pointed to it on their system, but still they have sent me a metal bush, a three inch plastic bush and two metal clips, finding it hard to see the funny side of things now.

Cheers
