Creaking clutch pedal [Euro]

Have you spoken to Honda Customer Relations?

I then decided to listen to the clutch - with all the master cylinder problems and good ol Honda Dealers telling me i'm dillusional and that the master cylinder is fine... *cough*
I noticed creaking as you press the clutch pedal to the bottom half.. I remember - that wasn't a good thing. I however do get the typical click from the top when you start pushing the clutch pedal down.

20,000km service is due soon next month, i've done only 14xxx km, should be at 20ish in the next few weeks. I'll definately have to get this looked at - if it's the mc problem which they claimed wasn't at the start - i'm going to be seriously pissed off especially if this is a cause for my first clutch wearing down and being blamed for user abuse.

I'll label this negligence.. they've had 2 years at least to sort out this damn problem and not deny it.

I was dealing with one person there from memory.. useless is all i can say. Typical corporate responses. But i'll take the car in to get looked at soon.

If this is a big problem for a majority of people with the Master Cylinder, i think we should do something about it and kick Honda up the arse :)

They'll only issue a recall if the problem threatens the safety or the driver. The MC issue just means extra noise, and maybe accelerated clutch wear that the owner will pay for anyway. So they have no incentive to recall it.

So.. has any 2005 Euro's had MC problem yet???

I think it applies only to the 03 and 04 Models....


*EDIT : Wrong Year*

This Sux... called Honda to schedule a service, they only open every second saturday @ Heidelberg

Damn... so 2003'ers get away with better clutch MC supplier.

Sorry guys, I made a boo boo, It's supposed to be 2003 and 2004 models according to this list... 2005 models are not effected as far as I know..

VirIIx - i agree... my MC was replaced at 10,000km or so if your remember? and my clutch continually felt less grabby and "responsive" as too my accelerator like yours (for some strange reason).

As far as i'm concerned the MC is the cause for the failing clutch.

Hmmmm... what to do.. I'm in the same dilema. Mine's creaking and gives me the Sh*ts... esp cos i do a lot of city driving.

I think we those of use with the same probs should all go to the same dealer at the same time and make a fuss

i don't think going to a specific dealer to make a fuss. The dealer can only do so much within their power authorised by Honda themselves. I do have from confirmation that Larke Hoskin's Homebush Honda (the service guy was great there when talking too) he admitted he had changed a few euro's MC's.

Whilst Headoffice is in a bit of a denial as usual :p

And i have to agree with Ronin, can't be good for city driving. I've noticd the creaking getting louder and louder - or at least it's obsessing more and more over me :)

Just go to your dealer, complain of a creaking clutch pedal. They should get a tech to testdrive with you. Sit with him, and let him press the clutch. Confirm the noise and they will do one of two fixes. 1) Lubricate or 2) change master cylinder. Don't wait!
