Grrrr my clutch Peddle snapped.

So who ever said the trouble never stops wasnt far off. So far in my two weeks of owning ive had the front spliter eatten by a dead fox at 70mph on the M6, two front flat tyres (at the same time) and then this.

You don't have a clutch cable.

hydraulic clutch

What are they symptoms?

Well I depressed the clutch peddle and it never returned it went right to the back of foot well. Further back than normal.

 

[m0rk]

did you pull it up?

master cylinder failure though

 

[Prev]

I did pull it up and it returned but then when pushed down didnt return again.

 

[cu51pra]

So how much am I looking at repair??

 

[claudefrog]

you have broken the clutch pedal probably.

do a search for clutch pedal.. you will see what others have done to fix it.

 

[claudefrog]

Yep, broken pedal box. Mine went a couple of weeks ago. Had it welded on the car for £50.

 

[CupraTgirl]

It could be the pedal box or a snapped clutch pedal as both those made my pedal stick to the floor although when the pedal box went the white clip had come off too

I had a pedal box go on my first cupra and a clutch pedal snap on this one

You need to make sure that whoever fixes it does a double weld to make sure its strong as a dodgy weld is normally why they go

Well got the car back last Thursday after they told me that they had fixed the peddle. Was driving past said garage last night and it happened again. so my Ibiza is back up there. Does this never end??

I daubt it very much the garage in question is the islands only Seat dealership but they have a reputaion on being complete shite. I gave them a chance as the people complaining were mainly volvo drivers. Im going up there at lunch to give them the key and tell them what I want done and I want it done for free.

Yeah it needs to be double welded really to make it stronger as that seems to be the 'Weak' spot

ok cool well thanks for the pointers. Its not like I go round riding the clutch and doing burn outs. I hardly ever take the car much above 2k revs and keep the changes to a smooth action. Non of this grinding the gears "chav style".

Yeah i dont either but mine still snapped last year! Its just one of the 'Weak' spots with the car and if its not welded strong enough it will wear over time, you know?

Yeah well you would expect a weld to last longer than a week. Its only done 98miles since last thursday not exactly many.
