Heavy clutch

[Scootymad]

I got my car today and i wanted to know if someone knows how to adjust the clutch so its not so heavy.

The reason i ask is because its that heavy the clutch pedal also squeeks.

Thanks

Clio's are renow'd for a fairly heavy clutch.. The bite is quite high too.

This is stupidly heavy. Its not that that really bothers me its the squeak of the pedal that bugs me...

Anybody?

I could really do with some advice on this...

Oil the spring?

Pedal on the Mark 1 has a return spring, mine did squeek a bit until i put some WD-40 on it. Seems fine since i did this 6 months ago.

Im not the most technically minded, so where abouts is the spring located?

 

[rctempire]

Look at the clutch pedel and put your head on the floor there and look up. its at the rear of the pedal.

It'll be the clutch cable. Mine also does this, more so in hot weather and/or sitting in traffic. I'm certain it'll be cured when I do eventually get around to changing the cable.

Oops, just noticed yours isn't a sport, which may make my diagnosis complete toss

Could be... i will get my mechanic to look at it when i get it taxed.

not 100% but on my valver they couldnt be adjusted had an adjuster on the pedel/rattchet. The clutch cable spring above the throttle cable once oiled seems to make it marginly better.
