MarkHyde Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hi all, hope you can help. The clutch pedal on my 2010 R300 has started to creak on the way up. The car drives perfectly, no problem with gear changes and the clutch goes down smoothly and silently, it's only when the clutch pedal is on it's way up that the pedal creaks. It's not really a problem (I hope) but is really annoying and can actually be felt through your foot when engaging/changing gear. Any ideas? Many thanks, Mark H.

Ian Mackenzie Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hi there It should be a hydaulic clutch, so my guess would be a dry bush on the clutch pedal and an easy fix? Cheers Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkHyde Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hi Ian, Many thanks and absolutely correct. Not being really mechanically minded I took the plunge, removed the pedal box cover which gives you access to the pedal pivots, sprayed them with WD40 then worked some copper grease into the bushes with a small brush. Hey presto, after working the clutch pedal several times and working in a bit more grease I now have a silent and smooth working clutch pedal. Who would have thought a dry bush could make such a noise..........and no that is not a euphemism! Thanks again Ian, Mark H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
