Damien. 0 Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Well, i left the car standing over the weekend. Got into it tonight and there is something terribly wrong with the clutch pedal. It seems to be resting closer to the floor and doesnt engage until its nearly fully down. This is a problem and its making it difficult to select gear. Anyone else had this problem ? Link to post Share on other sites
Jürgen 0 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Not tha same, but i use my vr just on weekends and the pedal is 2 inches lower than usual, i pull it with my foot i dont know if this is ok mbut works, what happend with this? Link to post Share on other sites
Damien. 0 Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I bled my clutch system, and it was great for about 2 days. Then the problem just came back. Everytime i get into the car i either gotta do what you have to, or pump the clutch for it to start engaging. I havent got a clue whats causing it. Link to post Share on other sites
Ciaran 4 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 most likely something wrong with the slave cyclinder or master cyclinder. Link to post Share on other sites
ad24gti 0 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Theres a clip at the end of the pedal push that in and clucth should be ok Link to post Share on other sites
Phat VR6 3 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Yer as ciaran saids your slave or master cyclinder are probaly leaking and letting in air. Also it could be the pipe work going from master to slave. The only problem is finding out with one is at fault. Look for fuild leaks. Good thing about the VR compared to other cars is that you dont have to remove the gearbox to change the slave cylinder. Simply bolts out in 10mins. If you cant see any leaks then change the cheepest thing first. Link to post Share on other sites
Buddahwolfie 0 Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Had the same problem, was the clutch cable that made the pedal stick and made gears difficult to select. Had that replaced and it worked a treat after that Link to post Share on other sites

spreadz07 0 Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I hadnt noticed the pedal being lower but this is the same as what has causd my problems. See here:http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?205798I read the replies on here and noticed the pedal being lower so I lifted it with my foot and it went into gear as easy as anything.So is this normal on a VR6 and how can it be rectified so the problem doesnt happen again?Nige Link to post Share on other sites

Phat VR6 3 Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 No its the same fuild as your brakes, Takes it from your brake fuild res above mastar cylinder, It could have water in it but would be worrying as it would be in with your brakes system aswell, You can bleed the system (little bleed nipple like on the back of your brake caliper) and work it like bleeding your brakes. If that doesn't work or it comes back soon after you have to do as i said above, Link to post Share on other sites

Ciaran 4 Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 yes u can bleed the clutch aswell exactly the same idea just make sure u don't put brake fluid all over the CV boot it's next to. Link to post Share on other sites
Jürgen 0 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Thanks, do you have the how to with pics?, and scuse me what is CV boot? Link to post Share on other sites
Ciaran 4 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 could get you a pic yes. it is just a matter of loosening the nipple then push the pedal down then nipping the bleed nipple up and then repaeting this till thbrake fluid is clean and has no bubbles.A CV boot the the rubber part that covers the bendy part of your drive shafts and holds grease within for lubrication.
