"Creaking clutch pedal"
The clutch pedal on my facelift diesel is sending me nuts with creaking when I press it down and lift it back up.
Does anyone else have this issue or a cure?

Remove the pedal by removing the clips on the master cylinder pushrod link and the end of the pedal shaft - grease the pivot bushes/shaft with LM grease and stick it back together.
Take care with the pedal return spring - it can fly off, and there is a plastic cap on the end of it than can go walkabout. Just make sure it all goes back together properly. Pete Last edited by EastPete; 12th July 2017 at 12:44.. |

White spray grease is good for getting in without having to remove all the clips ( They can be a b to get out and back due to their position). The white spray grease is very searching and if you use the supplied straw you can get it right where you want it to go. Sometimes, the plastic master cylinder mounting bracket squeaks too.

I quite like the sound of my squeaky clutch pedal, adds to the character and personality of the car .

Agreed but unless you are used to "spannering" the access and "fiddling" is a PITA. If you do take off the pedal, take care not to lose bits down the back of the carpets or mix up the circlips (one 7mm and another 8mm) or move the pedal rod too far or it will fall out the other end. The return spring can be a nightmare and as said, don't lose the plastic insert where it fits to the pedal.

If the pedal rod moves, it is quite easy to just push it back across from the other end (beyond the brake pedal). Pete |
