Hey folks,
I'm new to owning my FN2 Type R. Less than two weeks. :asw: Ever since I bought it, i've been having a clicking clutch pedal, which seems to only click when the car is warmed up. First thing in the morning, on the way to work, the car is a joy to drive because my clutch pedal behaves itself with no clicking or anything....then in the evening time, on the return journey home, the clutch pedal clicks with every depress all the way home again. Some times I get a single click, and sometimes I get what could be described as more of a multi popping grating sound, but in either case, it's not just a noise, but also a corresponding vibration through the pedal, and into my foot. It's driving me mad. :evil:
To try and better illustrate my issue, I've made a couple of private youtube videos so that perhaps hopefully, someone can give me some ideas as to what it might be and how to fix it. If I need to start thinking about taking the clutch pedal assembly apart and out of the car, I'm looking also for some advice on this. Pointers of best approach or what to be careful of. I'm suspicious that it might be the linkage on the push-rod for the clutch master cylinder where it connects mechanically on to the pedal box, as illustrated in the second video. I bought a spare clutch pedal assembly off E-bay in some hopes of trying to see anything, but I don't think this is making any difference to my efforts, but it is an illustration of how desperate I am to sort this, as it's somewhat ruining my experience of an otherwise great car.
Thanks in advance for any positive feedback I receive.
Here are my videos. Enjoy.
