Matt Vandart Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Ok dudes, I have tried literally everywhere else and no one seems to have an answer for this problem. My birds peugot has been through 3 master cylinders in as many months. Failure is the same everytime, pedal hits the deck and wont return then clutch release does not operate at all. you can see the slave move the arm but it just goes back again. Any ideas party people?

Jolfa Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 What just goes back again? Also put it in the car thread like everyone else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 The arm is sprung, the cylinder is not. Incorrectly bled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Systemacre Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 The arm is sprung, the cylinder is not. Incorrectly bled. Correct! Or seal/s within the slave weak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Ok thanks. anyone got any ideas why it would take roughly a month to f**k up again and not go spongey first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 The arm isn't sprung itself, it's the clutch release fingers in the cover that are sprung, the arm is just kept in place through being acted on by both the clutch and the slave cylinder. Has each failure been unable to be rectified through an attempted re-bleed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Yes it has been unable to rectify through an attempted rebleed. Sorry I forgot to put a really important detail. You can see the arm pushing the slave cylinder piston back in when your foot is down on the pedal.

Matt Vandart Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Ok a mechanic geezer has suggested it's the dual mass flywheel. Can anyone suggest why this item would cause this recurring fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
