Hi guys,
Last Saturday while I was parking I noticed that the clutch pedal maintained pressed to the floor even when I removed my foot from it. I needed to pull it using my hand so I could start the engine again but the pedal did the same. I took it to the garage and checked on this forum that there is thread to drain air from the slave cylinder that is located below the battery.
I'm not so sure if there was any change/upgrade to the cars Fiat sold in Mexico (by the way I'm in Mexico) but there is nothing shaped like that. I talked to the engineer and he told me that it could be using a Concentric Slave Cylinder instead.
My question is if anyone of you guys know if that is the case for Mexico /Latin America? or if there is any country using Concentric Slave Cylinder instead of just a Slave Cylinder?
This will be a huge difference on the cost of repair as the Slave Cylinder should be located outside the gearbox, therefore there is less time needed to do the repair/replacement than having a Concentric Slave Cylinder located INSIDE the gearbox.
Also, do you know if this Fiat Bravo uses parts from any other model or brand? like a Corsa or Astra maybe?
There was a time back in 2002 that Fiat had an agreement with General Motors and that could be the case to share spare parts.
This will be really helpful for me to repair my car and not replacing the complete clutch kit if there is no need.
