Clutch cable adjustment

[charllieuk]

I have just fitted a new clutch cable to the van however it doesn't seam to have the auto adjustment thing around it like the other ones I have read about on the internet. It works fine but you have to push the pedal right to to the floor to get it to work. Any one know how its adjusted?

The early ones had an adjuster build into the cable , the later ones have a automatic adjuster in the pedal.  
Then there are 1.6s with a hydraulic system.

Which one have you got. ?

Check for the auto adjuster on the pedal, the cable for that doesn't have the adjuster build in.

If not check the proper way of adjusting the adjuster on the cable.

check out this link http://pmmonline.co.uk/technical/reset-clutch-cables/ . If you are able to determine which type your cable is then you can reset according to instructions. It should be a 30min job diy if everything is ready and if doesnt work - replace..

its a 2005 1.4 petrol

this was the cable I purchased it looked the same as the original I took off. there was no obvious auto adjustment thing that I could see I will have a look on the pedal.

^^^ Isn't that the auto adjuster in the centre of the cable - the thick black bit ?
Looks like the one on my 1.9d which had auto adjuster

possibly, I'm hoping  but no idea how it work and no instructions to work it out. there was no clip or anything to cut off like I have seen in all the vids or pictures

well, was the instruction as highlighted in the article I have posted earlier adhered to or not? if not then the article should be adequate to guide you in resetting and fitting back the cable. You may need some means of restraining the autoadjuster in place after resetting - possibly tie wraps and /or strong adhesive tape

no my cable does not seam to be the same as any of those in the link there was no plastic clip or anything to set or re set.  I have not had a chance to get a good look at the pedal to see if there is any form of ajustment

many dealers sell them with the clip missing, damaged or removed.
