i have just had a new clutch fitted in my doblo 1.4 8V it has only done 31200 miles. the clutch works fine now, but the pedal is very sloppy and goes down very low. is it easy to adjust [free play]
If it goes into gear easily with no grating and there is no slipping or weakness in the clutch, what you usually find with a new clutch is it starts to grip and the car pull away with the clutch pedal much nearer to the floor than with the old worn one.i have just had a new clutch fitted in my doblo 1.4 8V it has only done 31200 miles. the clutch works fine now, but the pedal is very sloppy and goes down very low. is it easy to adjust [free play]
the clutch on fiat doblo mk 1 is cable operated. there are ways to adjust the free play in the cable and the pedal. unfortunately i cannot find a workshop manual for this vehicle to guide me.If it goes into gear easily with no grating and there is no slipping or weakness in the clutch, what you usually find with a new clutch is it starts to grip and the car pull away with the clutch pedal much nearer to the floor than with the old worn one.
I have noticed with certain makes of clutch, that they feel very soft in their action compared with the old days when a new clutch was fitted, but as long as it doesn't slip and goes into gears easily it should be OK.
I don't think you can adjust the clutch on your model, if it was grating I would suggest bleeding the clutch hydraulics, but you don't mention that.
Never the less if you don't feel happy with the car after the clutch was fitted I would go and speak to the garage, even if nothing is done, should it cause you a problem later then you can report that you did mention an issue to the garage.
Sorry, you didn't mention the age, so I went by a 05 Doblo 1.9 I used to have.the clutch on fiat doblo mk 1 is cable operated. there are ways to adjust the free play in the cable and the pedal. unfortunately i cannot find a workshop manual for this vehicle to guide me.
