ford fiesta mark 5 2003 tdci. with hydrolic clutch

[biggazu]

All having a nice bank holiday. Wish i bloody was. No, luck at all. Anyway, My fiesta's clutch pedal has just bust. It has a very flimsy plastic rod which when you press the clutch pedal, operates the hydrolic piston and all that. I have got the part off, But noticed this has lost some fluid. Will i have to bleed the clutch and does any one know what the damage is gonna be on this part. cheers

The rod on the pedal that actuates the salve cylinder on these have a nasty tendency to slip off the pedal - when you get it repaired - there is a clip available from garages/motor accessory shops etc that looks like a washer with teeth on it pointing towards the centre - this will stop the rod sliding away from the pedal stopping it from breaking.

Many thanks woodchopper. Its a very **** design for ford. But i see what ya mean. If it moves side to side and not as supposed, back and forth it will break. I will give the dealer some head ache. Have a good one and cheers
