Update: My creak came back after 1 year. I've lubed it up myself and the creak has been gone for 2 weeks. My next service is in May. If the creak comes back by then, then I'll be on my 2nd NEW master cylinder!

Same prob as all you guys - I just got Scotts Honda to diagnose the creaking and they said they will book me in to replace the clutch pedal assembly. I asked if the master cylinder was ok - they said it was fine.
I hope they diagnosed it properly - will inform of results once the work is done! (in a week or two - they have to order the parts).
No problems with this clutch problem. The car is so damned quiet in all areas that I wish it would communicate with me a bit more. Going in for its 20,000km service tomorrow with no issues to report.
Noes my Euro is making a creaking noise now when pressed to the floor :(
Gonna get them to check it out at the next service
aaronn, I'm on my third clutch master cylinder and the creaks have stopped for about a year, maybe 3rd time lucky for you too:pQuote:

As I've mentioned earlier, I had a bad case of the clutch creak before. Now, its seems as though the MC is the problem. However, my dealer has now replaced the clutch pedal assembly and the creaking has gone for more than a month now - still smooth. If the MC is the issue here, then replacing the clutch pedal assembly wouldn't have had made a difference, but it has. The MC hasn't been changed.
aaronng where abouts did you lube it yourself? Do you spray WD40 in the area where the clutch goes into the firewall?
NEVER use WD40 for lubing. And NEVER use WD40 for anything with rubber (master cylinder seals).Quote:

If you look behind the clutch pedal, there is a rod that goes into the firewall. If you push the rod in partially you'll see a gap. I sprayed silicone into the gap.
Thanks I may try that - the noise is getting quite loud now.
Is this stuff ok to use?

That looks ok. My CRC silicone is in a blue can though....
