not on the Bravo, but the 147 suffered from something similar. I bet they share the same part/ fix. searching for this on Alfa 147 forums might be helpful for a quick fix
 
I have had a look at the alfa 147, Its a different set up but thanks for help. Ive been looking everywhere still cant find the clips. FIAT DEALER say i have to buy the master cylinder rod. but not 100% that the clip will be on there. Its just a simple clip i need.
:cry:
 
I live in blackpool. Which skelmersdale breaker yards are they in. and ill have a look, CHEERS.
 
According to the Fiat parts catalogue, some Bravos have the 2 part plastic clip as in the diagram below. Part #5 is a rectangular plastic clip and part #6 is a plastic cup that fits inside the clip. The part numbers for parts 5 and 6 are the same as for the Stilo and are available seperately from a dealer.

There's a long thread about it in Stilo section of the forum here: https://www.fiatforum.com/stilo/14491-clutch-pedal-click-clunk-squeak.html

There's a photograph of the clip and cup in post #68 of that thread.

Here are some pictures of the white clip which dosen't look broken on the picture. The other picture the clip goes into the black plastic thing then connects to the ball joint.

Its an 07 bravo 1.9 multijet dynamic 120bhp. hydraulic clutch. Im looking everywhere for the info. if anybody can help or have an idea I would realy appreciate it, Thanks.:confused:
 
Yours is obviously not the same as the diagram I posted above.

The diagram below shows the alternative Bravo set up. Doesn't show the white clip seperately though. Perhaps the dealer is right and it's only available with the master cylinder.

The other diagram below is from the eLEARN workshop manual. Doesn't say anything about a removable clip.

Does your white clip fit in the black plastic part securely?

Yes the white clip fits securely in the plastic thing but when i then put it onto the ball joint the white clip is loose and worn. Ive tried all ways to put the clip back on but it won't hold I need a new clip. Everything else is working fine on the clutch. I have also asked a random owner if i can look at there car 1.9 mulitjet exactly the same white clip, Heres a picture of what it looks like working properly.[/ATTACH]

Tkaye, did you also notice the fluid? It looks to be dripping out of your master cylinder in this picture. You can see it pooled up around the bottom of the rubber boot.


I do not like that setup at all. If it was made from good quality components I think it would be up to the task, but all that looks really cheap.

A propper rose joint like this with a bolt going through would have been better.

It looks like its leaking but it is actually grease. There is no liquid below. yea i agree with you it would of been alot better with a bolt going through. I was thinking of doing somthing myself bodge job but Im going to see if i can find the clips form the breakers yards first. If i can't then ill just have to give it to fiat and pay up. just for a little clip.:(
 
The trouble with getting the clip from a breakers yard is that its likely you'll break it getting it off the donor car :( TBH, it looks like one of those things that is fitted once, then replaced with a new one if necessary.

I wonder if you could do something with a strong cable tie to stop it popping off?

Have you managed to sort this problem out, mine went last week and have been popping it back on, has become a daily occurrence now so have held it in place with hair bobbles temporarily, could do with a part number or repair costs, someone had put on another thread that the dealership sorted it for £50

Hey mate. I had the exact same problem today and was quoted £60 for the part from a fiat garage... making it an exceptionally expensive piece of plastic.

Did you have any luck in the end? I am hoping that I can get mine fixed without having to order a whole part that I don't need.

Thanks
 
Hi mate, I went for the budget option and have got a couple of thick hair bobbles wrapped around the link arm to the mounting point on the clutch pedal, I went to our local auto spares and the only type they have is the standard crescent type which is the standard for most other cars, to the point that they had never come across this type of clutch mechanism! I think if you're looking at a proper job the only way is dealership, nice to know the cost, the hair bobbles option has lasted my this far but will need it sorting before my MOT
 
Thanks for getting back to me Col. I'll give the hair bobbles a try. I've been trying cable ties but it's a hell of a fiddly job. I can't understand why Fiat would use something plastic which you put pressure on every day!
It's a shame they don't just stock the white clip!
 
After trying hair bobbles and wrapping myself up in cable ties I have had to accept defeat. 60 quid plus VAT for a new white clip from FIAT. Because the clip is attached to a new clutch cable they want to bleed it and replace the whole thing... making this the most expensive piece of plastic on the planet.

If yours snaps then hopefully you can sort it out using the above methods!
