Clutch pedal snapped

[Rich.T]

Happened on my 1.6 many years ago. Was very cold like with you and it kept sitting on the floor. Never did it again after that cold morning though.

Maybe caused by moisture in the fluid then?
Drove the car thismorning (at 7.30 so a little warmer) and it was fine.
Keeping my fingers crossed.

Evening all.
Thought id drop a question on this thread rather than starting a new one for a simple question.

Looking at buying a pedal 2nd hand that i can modify/strengthen.
My pedals have the holed ally plates fitted.
Anyone know if i can remove it and fit it to a non R pedal?

Cheers all
Rich

no idea but my pedal was from a TT or a golf i think

 

[Rich.T]

I took the plunge.
Got a black plastic/rubber pedal.
If i cant fit my ally pedal to it, I'll just flip it.
Have you got any pix of the damaged pedal?
Will give me an idea where to weld it.
Cheers

Replacing Broken Clutch Pedal - How to Guide (with pics)

Thought I'd write a guide on replacing the clutch pedal (which regularly fails) as I haven't found a complete guide on this forum. I have also discovered by accident a way that makes the job much easier ;) I've found you can lock the pedal right back and then slot the spring into place...

Well my pedal turned up. So will look to see if it matches the one on the car.
Was it just the back of the box that broke away and the white plastic bush came through?
Need to know where to weld.

Yeah thats what happened, exactly the same as in the guide. Its the tack welds that break on the box section

 

[Rich.T]

Cool. Thanks for letting me know.
Will get it sorted sometime ?

No they literally just bust apart quite dramatically. once the section breaks theres nothing to stop it from going against the footwell.

Another clutch pedal bites the dust. Am sat at an M4 junction waiting for the AA. Literally no warning!!

Makes me wonder: what would MacGyver do?

Something to do with the moon's gravitational pull...

He’d get an automatic.
I pulled the broken pedal from the car. Ordered new bits. Can’t wait to fit them.

Mine broke last year. Seems the welds are reaching the end of their lives.

Getting that big spring in is a *******! I used 2 cable ties to keep mine compressed, then cut and removed them when it was in place

I never bothered to strengthen mine, so thanks for making me paranoid!
