clutch hits the floor!

[fourtwofive]

driving to work in the middle of the new forest. and bang the clutch hits the floor.
im sure this has happened to pretty much every seat cupra owner. so drove the car with no clutch to the my work took the peddle off and going to weld it tonight. it really is a love hate relationship with this car.

[fourtwofive]

bumped it into gear lucky i only had to do a few miles.

 

[mr_D]

pretty easy if you have a good feel for the car and time it right.

waiting for this to happen to me tbh

everything else has gone wrong in my 7 month ownership

is there any easy way to see if its already been welded or not??

 

[daves ibiza]

i have a spre cluth pedal guys pm me for details

 

[fourtwofive]

its easy to see if it has been welded. its the little box on the side that holds the rod in that snaps.

also does anyone know if thier is a lighter clutch spring on the market? the one that is on thier is huge. hence the heavy clutch. also daves ibiza do you have a spare clutch spring as i broke the plastic insert on mine.

I've just been towed off the M25 to a garage with the same prob, snapped while in 1st gear in the 3rd lane ...managed to get it to the hard shoulder, but interesting!

Luckily I've got this AA membership package where I pay about a fiver more every month and just pay an excess of £25 to get it repaired wherever it's towed to. Covers you up to £500 of repairs, so coil packs and mafs etc I no longer have to worry too much about!

wish i had that two days not payed off work and 100 pound later.

 

[mr_D]

£100 later? ouch.
