Clutch Position Switch

08 July 2011 - 08:50 PM

Hi Folks,

I've just replaced my clutch master cylinder - click here if you're interested in my experience of this.

However - in the process I broke the clutch position switch - so I'm assuming the ECU thinks I've got my foot on the clutch the whole time. It doesn't seem to make any difference to how it drives.

The car is a Mk6 Finesse 1.25 Duratec. It's basic. On a car with cruise control, I can see that the clutch position switch would tell the ECU to disengage the cruise control if the clutch was pressed. Mine doesn't have cruise control.

I'm wondering if the switch is a standard fit across the range, but doesn't actually do anything on my particular model.

Can someone confirm or correct me on this?

thanks,

Phillip

Intermittent Clutch Problem

02 July 2011 - 01:03 PM

Hi All,

I've got a 2004 Mk 6 1.25 Duratec Finesse. It's been an excellent car - currently has 32K on the clock.

This week, both wife and I have had trouble with the clutch - biting point was just of the floor, and on one occasion wasn't there at all and we couldn't change gear - this seemed to sort itself out quite quickly, but there's clearly something wrong.

I flushed/bled the clutch circuit through with fresh fluid - old stuff was pretty black. However, the problem is still there, intermittently. Fluid level hasn't dropped in the reservoir.

I'm now suspecting master cylinder or (annoyingly) slave cylinder. In essence, the problem is that the clutch is not disengaging correctly, and this is intermittent.

Anyone else had the same problem and any ideas? Am I on the right lines?

thanks,

Phillip
