Creaking clutch pedal [Euro]

I had this problem with Mum's Euro for over 6 months.

I had the creaking noise and a spongy Clutch pedal.

When I was working in the dealership I had the workshop controller check it every 5000 when it was there for a service. he could never find a problem.

Eventually got them to bleed the master cylinder. As a hopeful fix Spongyness come back in about 2 weeks. Got a new master cylinder under warranty. Still had the creak. Got new pedal bushes done under warranty. I still have a noise there which is the cruise control switch on the clutch pedal.

There is a bulletin out for them leaking.

Mine wasn't just one creak. You could feel the creaks in the clutch pedal. There was no sponginess (if that's a word). It would occur from halfway depress to the carpet. Creak/click not near the top.

yeah I had the 2 issues. The master cylinder was a seperate problem to the creak. I'm still not happy with the clicking noise I have from the cruise control switch.

The fix for the creak was new pedal pushes in my case. When I was in Honda Parts we did 2 complete pedal boxes on them for this problem.

With new pedal bushes/new master cylinder/new entire clutch system, you will still have the cruise control switch click. Because IT IS NORMAL!

My Euro's clutch pedal has just started creaking ;-(

I bought the car at ~70k, it has now done ~76k. Unfortunately it's out of warranty, so i'd prefer to fix it myself. I haven't read the previous 38 pages of this thread, but from what I can tell, it doesn't seem to be coming from the master cylinder. It sounds more like it's coming from the pedal hinge mechanism?

Has anyone been able to actually identify the real cause?

Try lubring the hinge. If it helps, then its the hinge. Mine is from the master cylinder itself. I spray a bit of silicone lube into the hole that the piston goes into, and the creak goes away.

Hmm, any idea as to what a master cylinder is worth? I just looked at the Euro workshop manual, it doesn't look that hard to replace. Will try lubing the hinge first though! Thanks for the tip!

Not sure, you'll have to ask the dealer... let us know how much though!

Sorry to bring up an old thread but my clutch pedal has been creaking for the last three months and is getting to me...

I have a 03euro and the warantee is out. I have lubed it numerous times but the problem comes back in 2-3 days.

I have filtered through most of the previous 39pages and it seems to be happening on most 03-05 models. I have got a quote for a 03 master cylinder for $190, can anyone confirm that their 06+ euro clutch pedal doesnt make this creaking noise? Im thinking of exploring the option of buying a 06+ master cylinder (if it is the same).
