Markb55 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Hi I changed the Clutch master cylinder and in the process the clutch sensor switch on the pedal snapped, I have ordered a new one but it drives perfect without it on, I just wondered what is it supposed to do and do some cars have them and not need them. Its a 2006 1.6. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan P Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 It's for cruise control. There's one on the brake pedal too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markb55 Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 So being as I dont have cruise control can I leave it off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 It also allows the ECU to help smooth out gear changes and maintain the correct idle speed. I'm not sure if the latter is present on a 2006 but on mine when I depress the clutch to engage first the revs go up a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markb55 Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 Cheers I will put the new one on when it arrives so its back to normal, I was just expecting the car to run rough or not start with out it, but as I say it seems to run fine.
