HELP ME!! 306 Clutch cable

1998 306 d'turbo
bought new clutch cable. Really a bitch to fit as the turbo and AC get in
the way plus the hole in the bulk head is behind the servo.
Fitted it to the gearbox end and the pedal is still on the floor. Pull pedal
up and cable seems about 4 inches too long and gearbox. Rang dealer who siad
it was the right cable for the build code etc
Any ideas?

Maybe theres something to do with the routing of the cable; maybe theres
something it needs to go through somewhere you didnt know; only a
suggestion,

Yep, it's a real pain to fit even on non-AC models but on the AC
models it's a nightmare. I ended up just putting the old cable back on
my car and got Peugeot to change it. They did it while I waited and
even the mechanic there struggled.

 

Right, just fully read your post now. Check the clutch cable because
there are two types. When I took my clutch cable to Peugeot to fit
they also claimed it was the wrong one and ordered another. When that
cable came in it turned out to be the wrong one and my one was right.
If you can take the clutch cable out, just place it against the
original and you'll know straight away.

Also, did you seat the rubber grommet properly into the bulkhead? That
may be your problem.

 

was the wrong cable!
right box, wrong cable inside!
bloody dealers!!!!!

that's typical mate; and its not just the motor trades either; i had a guy
coming to replace my hard drive, last year, he came on time and with a
little box along with his tools, he started by shutting the PC down then
opened up the tower unit after unpluging all the cables, got the hard drive
out, and picked up the box he'd brough with him to get the new hard drive;
opened it and found it was a kettle element!!
I was mad! i had waited two weeks for the guy to do the job, and it took
another week till he got the right part!!
It was the right box, all the descriptions were right, all printed on the
box, but some numpty had put the wrong item in the box!!
All the same i'm sorry this happened to you!
