Angela Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) My son has a Seat Arosa 1.0 2002 model it needs clutch cable replacing. The RAC came out as he couldn't get any gears and have adjusted it and all now fine BUT he said we need to replace the clutch which is (EXPENSIVE) .... However I've now been told we could prob get away with just a new cable (CHEAP) ??? Can anyone help PLEASE . Thank you Edited February 5, 2018 by Angela Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 liable to be the pedalbox. the rac guy will have packed it with washers (bodge) to take up the slack of the bent bracket. If you wish to do your own diagnosis then remove the lower dash foot panel bit and lie on your back (fnaar fnaar) and look at the bracket with a torch as the clutch is pressed; you are looking for flex. Should you find it packed with washers then there will be more pressure applied and this will finish off the pedalbox and destroy the clutch. If you are local, I do cheap quick pedalbox jobs, if you're milfy then they can get cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angela Posted February 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Thanks Rich he didn't pack it out with washers he just adjusted it ... he said he had taken up the slack .... I've heard about the pedal box issue however the fact that he's adjusted it and it's fine makes me think we just need a cable .... milfy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 then he has wound the two 10mm nuts on the end to take up the slack from the box breaking and the washers are next. you can try a length of cable but if you need a proper box job I am definitely the deviant for the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
