Hi. I have a 2012 1.6 Doblo. In the last few days I have experienced the clutch petal sticking to the floor and not returning. If you pull it up and then pump it a few times it will work again. Then it will run fine again. I have had it checked over and they are saying it might need a master cylinder. Or else the full clutch is a huge job they are saying. Anyone experience this before.

If it is not loosing fluid, then I would say it would be the master cylinder too? I believe that there is a change over to concentric slave cylinders on the 263 models. Bad news that end as replacement would entail gearbox removal :-(

Thanks for that. No obvious fluid loss.

Master cylinders would appear to be available from after market sources. Slave cylinders not quite so many listings. I did an exploratory quote on clutch replacement for a friend's 2012 1.6 model & two quotes were supplied, difference being the option of replacing a concentric cylinder if it were on the car.

not uncommon,
some of the panda and 500 owners just fit a return spring to the clutch pedal..
