Hi...
Clutch master cylinder on a 200tdi 90 needed replacing. I'm taking the opportunity to also replace the pedal for a later 300tdi-style one with the rollover spring (a present for my left knee). I've never done this before and I'm wondering whether there's any sensible way to set it up before returning the assembled unit to the car. Should there be a certain amount of slack or free-play on the pedal (as per original)? It's hard to imagine how there could be any, when that return spring feels so powerful. Do I measure slack by "eye" rather than "feel", i.e. watching for some movement before the two nuts on the rod on the master cylinder are caught up by the movement of the pedal and start depressing the cylinder?
Any help appreciated.
