Hi,

I was thinking where is it meant to be?

I prefer it to be near the floor, not so close that the clutch drags when you have you foot down on the pedal.

Both my HDI Dturbo and HDI estate are like this. My girlfriends 206 is low and the one on my '6 is the same.

So, in the 206 and the GTI when I change gear it's not as smooth because when I release the pedal the clutch disengages near the point of my foot coming off but the other cars it's near the end of the throw of the pedal so disengages sooner.

Someone said the 206 might have air in the system with it being a hydraulic system and that causing the symptoms. I wasn't sure what it could be on the GTI and as I was writing this I just thought it could be the grommet hasn't seated in the bulkhead.

So back to the question, where should the bite point be in the travel of the pedal?

The clutch in the hdi Dturbo has only done 40k (mainly motorway). I did 300 on the last one lol.

You can push the pedal down around 25mm before you can feel the clutch spring pressure.

The GTI clutch is new, around 1k in it and was very light at first but a but a little lighter than the Dturbo at the minute. I've put a foil heat reflector around the cable where it's close to the exhaust manifold to help keep the heat away and stop it drying out the grease.

You can feel the spring pressure from the start when pushing the pedal.

Both have had new cables at the time of clutch cables being fitted.

The Dturbo I had to put a spacer behind the fork to allow the clutch to fully disengage.

So, am I right in saying the Dturbo cable isn't taking up the slack and the auto adjuster at fault? The GTI and 206 have correct bite points, the others aren't correct and I've got used to the wrong bite point?

Dturbo 40000 miles on the clutch and cable from dealer
Gti 1000 miles on the clutch and cable from motor factors

Both are Valeo clutch.

I need to take the box off the Dturbo to replace crank seals so I might replace the cable again.

The motor factor cable seems better then the one I got from the dealers. I'll have to find the make for the invoice.

Yes, new style bushes with seals, cleaned and polished the shaft contact areas. I used silicone grease in the bushes to keep water out, rust free and help lube.

Dura made the oem cables afaik.

What would be the best way to get at it?

Would I be able to reach it from below?

It's a right pain where it is.

Had a little play with the cable today and I think I've sorted it.

It was a bit more of a pain on the GTI than the HDI because of the heat shield being in the way.

You can see here the bung on the cable isn't sitting square.


The lug on the buckhead that the bung locates on to. The issue was the rubber bung got caught in the lug.


You can see here where the rubber was caught.


The bung located correctly, you can see that it's now sitting square with the buckhead. I would have thought the rubber would have been compressed more than that.


Before you couldn't see the plastic end that fits in to the lug on the buckhead.


Lets see how that goes. It felt better when parking up the car but last time it felt good after resetting the auto adjuster for a couple of goes on the clutch.
