having problems with gear changes on laguna 1.9 dci clutch pedal sometimes sticks to floor and have to lift it up
any help would be welcomed

[lozz]

iirc there was a Recall for the Clutch pedal on the lags they fitted a stupid plastic clip which fails
they where recalled to have a spring fitted,

What year is your car mate?

2004 only had since thursday drove alright till today
could it be the slave or master cylinder no fluid lost from brake fluid res

[lozz]

Best thing to do ithink is have a nosey over the pedal area,

also bare in mind these where built for LHD so The Main area to look at is in the passenger side, (remove carpet type cover under glove box-its held in place by Velcro strips )

idont think itl be Slave or Master cylinder but icouid be wrong,

how do i know if my cars had the recall so i take it back to the garage for them to sort out

[lozz]

Mine came with a card amongst the Service history,
saying which items have been Rectified

not sure how youd know withought the card/it shouid be in the Leather Wallet you get with the Renaults, if you dont have that
then perhaps contact the Main Agents, it shouid be on there Data base - (unless its an import)

hi got the car back today thew garage said there was air in the system so hes bled it its a lot better but sometimes still feels a bit vague
the mechanic did`nt tell me why there was air in system does any one have a clue what could have caused it

Hi,i recently had similar problem with the clutch but the problem was cylinders.
If you didnt notice any oil on the pedal behind it,than the cylinders probably aint problem.
Air in the system? i had it but due to the gasket of the cylinders,it began to fall apart and clutch was loosing pressure.
Maybe some gasket has hole or something,dont know.

I was thinking maybe if you gave serial number of your car to the renault person,they could see if your car is marked for that spring replacement.

GREAT the cars got the same problem totally p****d of that i bought a renault instaed of a PUG
the same problem has happened again spoke to gararge owner today he said itsd my driving style and not the car
funny that i did 80k in my pug not a problem
could the clutch pressure plate be the problem

[lozz]

sorry to hear it didnt get sorted,

Saddly the lagunas have What you call a Concentric Slave Cylinder, (Not a quick fix if they Go Wrong, its Gearbox out)
if its loosing preasure after being Bled ..it couid be that at fault,

[john170277]

Cheers loz for the quick reply I like the car so I hope I does get sorted the garage will b paying for the work if it is the slave cylinder will it be better to do the clutch at t

e same time

Hi,
if your planning on keeping it a long while, iwouid have the clutch changed,

If youve got the 6speed (pk6) box, Make sure they put the correct oil in,
there a Rather fragile gearbox, the correct oil is vital,

they are a good Motor if you keep ontop of them..

Make sure you clear the scuttle drains before the winter sets in
