Creaking clutch pedal [Euro]

sounds like you have this stuff~

I think the automotive stuff is stronger since the blue can is food-contact safe, anyways I'll give it a try

well my freaking creak has come back again!

I bought some food grade silicon spray from bunnings that's fine for use with rubber seals etc. and tried the method you suggested aaronng, pressing the clutch in slightly and spraying into the gap (applying a few brief sprays)...

It didn't affect the creak at all... this sucks!

long live the creak..

3 years in April for the Euro and the creak is still there.. even after 1 MC change @ 30,000km and it started to creak a few K's after that..

will be asking them to change it at the coming service of 40,000km

Did you use a tube to direct the spray into the gap? If you didn't, that must have been some looooooong tube that you got with your spray.
I used the clear hose that they commonly use for bleeding brake fluid.

it sucks, my car has had this problem since i got it. i guess there will be no chance at all to get this fixed out of warranty.

if it was a recall i could probably sway them to replace it free. but i guess ill be out of pocket for this one. if i can be bothered doing it. it doesnt seem like a huge deal, the notchy feeling you guys all get when shifting is probably a clutch pedal adjustment that needs doing. maybe ill price a MC (or just a the piston and seals) and see how i go changing that. its not a huge deal.

has anyone had the slave done as well? clutch fork?

It's just a clutch cylinder creak. You don't get a notchy shift from it. A notchy shift would come from your synchros or shift bushings.

I only used the tube that came with the can, depressed the clutch halfway and slid it into the gap and sprayed a bit - the tube that came with it was about 10-15cm in length. I was able to get the tube in the gap.. with the longer tube do you mean you need to feed the tube into the cylinder then spray deep inside it?

also just to confirm with you, the part I'm meant to be lubing is what the clutch push rod in the footwell goes into?
