It wouldn't be fine if mods were discovered in a post-accident investigation. Anything other than the manufacturer supplied piece could be used in a rejection of claim/ damages scenario. Threadlock isn't a modification is it and besides it's hardly likely to lead to a critical failure...

This is from a 07 cdti with single clutch switch and single brake switch, the settings may apply.

What happens in between zero and full travel of pedal for both switches 25%, 50%, 75% of travel? Trial and error... slacken off half a turn and see how it goes. If you're prepared to run without CC what difference does it make if you remove the switches? Until you can properly identify this...

Trial and error...as I said I just can't find the settings/distances for your set up in the workshop manual so I really don't know nor do I know how these switches are supposed to work. You could slacken off switch A half a turn and see if it makes a difference sure. Fahad says in this thread...

Double post

Ok, I've had a look at the icdti models of 2007 & 8 in the workshop manual and I cant find a cruise control system with two switches on the clutch, only clutch and brake. The schematic below and above I believe is the correct one for your car and again there aren't two switches on the clutch...

Err ok, before I go any further check your log book. Make sure you accurately put the exact model in your car description or signature as I don't think it can be an SE and an icdti, is it a saloon or tourer? Anyhow same diagnostic method applies, check the switches are positioned correctly and...

Hi, I meant look again at the schematic. I thought they used two sensors but they only use one. The manual in my signature is for the Mk7 so not for you, your car is a Mk8 isn't it? They did make some Mk7s in 2008, is it an i-cdti or i-dtec diesel engine...

Actually look again, it seems there is only one clutch pedal sensor that could be EITHER part 7 or 8. Sorry, less to go wrong then. Above has been edited.

Yep...ebay scrappies or after market parts would be my first port of call.

I don't have a Mk8 but I looked at the schematic below. You have one switch (part 7 OR 8) that threads into the clutch pedal chassis and engages with the pedal and therefore the clutch when it's both engaged and released. Make sure it is adjusted and tightened accordingly and then check the...

I made that mistake ordering the wrong size... I checked the part no with my vehicle which is a bit younger but should be the same and it has the 22,2 stamp. Part No 52315-SED-004 (PFKL670513)...

You've made your point Samaya, more than once. The problem is or was that you couldn't provide any supporting evidence (there is none) to justify not using Nylocks alone while also stating they can strip and the use of thread lock can also cause problems neither of which is true and despite the...

Thank you. Our friend Sayama is mistaken, nylon is actually a polymer but that's ok. Hopefully anybody else reading this thread will also realise that Nylocks are absolutely fine and cannot be stripped as accused and we have given an explaination as to why. The fact that car and component...

LoL....scrapping the barrel there, whatever wheel fastener they are describing it isn't a nylock. There is no full polymer lining on a nylock, the fastener's strength comes from the metal on metal contact through the thread (like any ordinary nut) and the partial polymer insert prevents...
