C3 Clutch Pedal Switch "Actuator"

[Banana99]

2010 C3 mk2 1.6 Hdi.

Clutch pedal was failing. Garage installed a replacement pedal-box that I sourced from same model/year car.

Got car back from garage and cruise control not working, been 2 weeks and I've only just had time to look into it..

The switch is plugged in but there is not actuator/cam (linkage) etc on the top of the clutch pedal to interact with it to turn it on/off.

Image of top of clutch pedal and switch below showing the lack of actuator, you can see the bare switch inputs.

I assume I need to source some extra part (old clutch pedal box been thrown by garage else I would look at that) to make this linkage.

I don't know what the part is that I need, what it is properly called, in order to source one?

Thanks for any help!

Without full details of your car I have gone for C3 II 1.6HDi and found this diagram and part list which hopefully will help. Good luck

Thanks for that Mick,

I came across this 'Clutch Pedal Cam' while searching online:

I've had another look and I think it's present, but fitted on the wrong side of the clutch pedal.

I'm going to try and get it off and refit it on other side of pedal.

I need a head-torch though so once that arrives I'll have a go; will update on how I get on!

Just for completeness..

I did manage to get the 'Clutch pedal cam' part off.

It was not going to go back on the other side though, as it would have broke the part trying to pry apart the small gap wide enough to go over the shaft that the clutch pedal is mounted on.

The correct method would have been to remove the pedal-box again, taking it apart and re-assembling it, whilst placing the part correctly along the way.

This was not going to happen though so I cut away material from the 'clutch pedal cam' part to make the gap wide enough to push over the shaft in the right place, using the locator hole and protruding-flange opposite, (which I left intact) in order to position it correctly.

I then used cable-ties to fix it in position and checked it was actuating the clutch-switch as is supposed to. Cruise-control is working again. Not the neatest fix and will see how stable it is as time goes by.

Thanks for the help.
