So if your watching this video and wanting to change it on a MK2 Focus then its an absolute nightmare of a job. So heres some advice when you eventually get the pedal out, put the new slave cylinder through the bulkhead first then fit the pedal. Once you get the cylinder into the pedal you can use a flat blade screwdriver on one of the lips to tap it round into position. 4 hours i tried putting the pedal back in with the cylinder attatched and got nowhere.
Didn't know it was so different on a mk2 to a mk3. Thanks for the advice.
Mate you do a great job I'm subscribing to you channel.
Thank you so much, I appreciate your kind words 😊
Just found out mine was leaking after my pedal stared squeaking and got a message of low brake fluid and found your video gave me some confidence so I think I’ll give it a shot. Gotta like n sub for the help!
Thank you so much for the like and sub. It's not a difficult job really. Take your time and don't loose the clip or the rubber part on the end of the pipe and you'll be fine 😊
@@mike_themechanic I already know with my luck all the battery tray bolts will be rusted lol
@@jonbo3867 get some wd40 in there in advance and I'm sure you'll be fine 😊
Blimey Mike that was crap of a job no wonder you didn’t look to happy about it Especially having to do it again ! Nicely done though mate glad it worked out 👍i bought myself a ford streetka on the weekend with a years mot and only 65k I took it for a spin the only thing wrong with it is it needs a heater valve as i can’t turn it off £11 and a motor in the passenger door for the central locking there about £20 ish it’s fab I love it 🤣 I like these sort of vids mate they teach me stuff 👍
I keep looking for a ka to buy.
I used to drive them when they first came out and loved them. Congratulations on your purchase it sounds like a great deal.
Hello , amazing video! My focus is a petrol st line version and it gets stuck half way but is intermittent! But only happens , when clutch is in waiting for a gap in traffic, and on hill starts!
With one occasion which it stuck to floor! Which is scary😂
So this video now has gave me confidence on what’s faulty!
Main question is, what goes wrong with the cylinder to stop the pedal coming up all the way?
It's probably leaking air into the pipes and thats why it doesn't come back up. The only tricky part is getting to the bolts on the bulk head everything else is fairly straightforward. Give it a go and I'm sure you'll get it sorted.
Ended up doing this, undoing the 4th nut and putting the pedal back was almost impossible had to put the clutch master cylinder in first then thread it through the pedal hole and attach it that way, other then that would of been stright forward, volvo v50 1.6
What was in the way that stopped it going back?
Not sure the name but it's connected with steering wheel and also a bar that looks to go across from one side of the car to at least the centre, had to squeeze my hand up side of pedal to get to the top nut, completely bruised and grazed my hand and wrist now but I wasn't gonna pull part the fhe whole car to get to it lol well worth it.
Anyway you help me change it, was quoted £370 did it for £80 subscribed now thanks for this
@@WarmoProductions that great to hear. That's one of the reasons I enjoy making these films in the hope that someone get the confidence to give it a go and succeed. Thank you for subscribing I really appreciate it. 😊
If the problem came back that quickly with a new part installed, then it probably wasn't that part's fault. I wouldn't be surprised if it comes back again.
Apparently people had both cylinders and the clutch itself replaced and the problem still returned.
There has to be something different.
That's exactly what has happened. Now I've changed the master cylinder twice and the slave cylinder.... Still the same
Hi will this be the same process with the volvo v50 1.6 I'm sure the engine parts the same, peddle sticking down mostly after reversing or sitting at traffic lights with clutch held down
Yes I believe so as its almost the same car
@mike_themechanic trying to find the bleed nipple is the a specific location where they normally are, my cars a right hand drive.
@@WarmoProductions jepp side of the gearbox underneath the pipe that goes from the master cylinder
Just had same job done but traction light stays on even when I try to turn it off via menu, any ideas welcome.
Strange. The only time you need to be neer the brakes in this job is when your disconnecting the pipes that are underneath the abs pump (on a LHD it is anyway)
I'd get a computer connected and see what the fault code is
How much does it differ on the mk2.5 focus? Can’t seem to find a guide for this
Not sure really. We have a mk3 at work and it's exactly the same
Hi, my clutch pedal is sticking every now and then when I change gear, Ford focus 1.5tdci- got a guy coming to change the master cylinder. But I popped into a garage and he said it’s the slave cylinder and would cost about £800 what u relokon? Also Thers no leaking and gears and clutch seem fine.
Well the master cylinder is easier and cheaper to change so that's why I changed mine in that order
The lad that’s changing the master cylinder is adiimant that’s the issue. I just don’t know why the garage would say it’s the salve cylinder straight away without even looking at the car. 🥺
But apparently it’s always the master cylinder it’s a common fault and he’s done 100’s
What’s the chances of it been the slave cylinder?
@@RichardSmith-jm7ib I'd say probably not very likely to be honest. If you do do the slave cylinder you should do the clutch and flywheel at the same time as I did. I know the master cylinder is a common problem so I would have said that first as well.
What was the mileage on the first 2 master cylinders?
The first one was probably 160000 km ish and the second one a year later so probably about 180000km ish
Hi mate is 1.6 Volvo s40 d2 2011 diesel same it looks same as I am having some problem ? Thanks
I believe så.
Had job done was ok for 3 day now problem is back any advice thanks
@@ryanshepherd327 when I bleed mine as I did alot during winter I found that if I only did a few presses of the pedal it didn't work for long, but if I bled at least 10 presses of the pedal it would work at lot longer
Did you cure your
@@ryanshepherd327 not as such. It's OK at the moment but has been a right pain while it was cold outside. I've changed the master cylinder, the pipe and the slave cylinder. Not sure what to do anymore 🤷
Why do engineers hate mechanic's 😕 hiding things away and make it so hard to get to the thing you are trying to fix so many parts have to come of to get to an easy fix
The worst part is bleeding it especially on the diesel. I've compared it to the petrol and it's much better access there
They can make cars that are cheap to make and sell, or easy to fix but expensive. People choose the former.
I put the sucky tool on the bleed nipple.
I've done that but it's not easy to turn the nipple as well as have the pipe there.
Hello again! 🫡
What u recommend to put, original one or aftermarket? If is aftermarket which brand you are recommending? Thks 🍻
Luke or sachs are probably the ones to go for as they make the orignal parts for Ford (ford don't make their own parts)
