Clutch Pedal

[synchro]

Our CC clutch pedal was sticky a couple of time yesterday while driving and stayed
down after changing gears. We pulled it up with our feet and it was OK.

Now, today, its doing it all the time and we can't always get it out of gear.
Reading up on the Internet seems it could be a master cylinder problem.

Has anyone else had this and how much ££ did it cost to fix?

Thanks!

sounds like master/slave cylinder problems. not sure on cost though - mine was warranty fix.

Turns out to be the slave cylinder. £400 fitted, or £1100 changing the clutch at the same time!

what?!

I take it that's at a stealers, find a trustworthy independent and, if there's nothing wrong with the clutch there's no point in changing it.

The slave cylinder had failed inside the gearbox contaminating the clutch.
New clutch nearly £170 and you also need a new mass damped flywheel
at the same time, another £450!

Plus labour (engine out job) just under 1100. That is an independent!

Only problem now is I keep getting engine fault light P0487. It's back in
this week

I've been down this route too. My bill was around £900 (with an indi) but Renault Customer Services paid me £200 in cash, plus a voucher for £700 for future work.

I have no idea whether this is connected to the repair.

Let us know how you go on.
