Creaking clutch pedal [Euro]

hopefully the clutch creak is a non-issue with the 06s because that may suggest a revised master cylinder design (fingers crossed)

Nope its definetely an issue with the MY06.

My 06 has had the problem twice.

Thanks Eurodude. Yeah, the sound can't be heard from inside the vehicle. I tried the window thing (that is a story on it's own!)...and I have a healthy hatred for loose stuff in compartments etc, but I will check those too. Standing near driver side wheel with the bonnet open (Engine and A/C running) It seems like it's coming from between the driver side strut and the motor, or around where the drive belt runs (Probably a plastic cover or idler pulley or something). My wife says I'm too pedantic about these kind of things

, but I will get to the bottom of it!

I just got back from the dealer and with divine intervention, I couldn't replicate the noise to the dealer!!!! ARGH!!!!!

^ thats because its usually triggered after driving 10 minutes, and when its humid weather.

Mine is random... Happens cold, warm, hot, instantly, over 10 minutes or 1 hour... It's very random...

But today before I started the car, the creak was there, then at the dealership, it was gone...

Stick a humidifier in the cabin for a few minutes

Actually what u could try is turning the heater on and closing the windows for say 10 minutes at the dealer, then give it a try. The heat should expand the metal and hopefully trigger the creaking.

Mines started creaking quite badly now. Gonna spray some Lithium grease on the pedal linkage and see how that goes, before getting honda to replace the Master Cyl...

Lithium grease on the linkage will do jack. hahahaha...

EuroAccord13's MC is special.

So over driving my car with a sponge for a clutch

**EuroDude** · 10-01-2007 05:46 PM

w00t I fixed the creaking!

I pushed the clutch to ensure it was still creaking at the time (it was loud as ever), then got some Silicon spray and sprayed directly into the piston part you see in the pic below.
Straight away the creak went away and felt as new

Give this a try before taking the car to ur dealer.
