Clutch pedal sticking

Unread post by Flyntmc »

Hi,

I've recently bought a 2011 Citroen dispatch 2l, everything has been spot on 90% of the time. I drove it roughly 200 miles about 150 miles in to the journey with no heavy use of the clutch all on open roads I went to change gear and the clutch pedal stayed all the way to the floor for a few seconds before releasing, this happened 3 more times on the rest of the journey with it only not releasing once, after a minute it released.

I had the AA out who drove the van for around 45 min with no issue saying the clutch felt fine he topped up the fluid and I drove home. However half way through the journey back the clutch stuck in again.

I took it to the garage they have said they can find no issues other than the fluid been slightly low but they said they couldn't find a leak. Does anyone have any ideas what the fault could be I thought something potentially overheating or fluid getting past the seals on a cylinder. Only really bought the van with the intention of using it to transport bikes on long journeys and the faults only seem to be when I do this. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Try bleeding the clutch if you have not already done it.

Master cylinders on some cars are a problem (MK2 Picasso for instance) - was the clutch actually held disengaged, or just the pedal stuck down?
