So if your watching this video and wanting to change it on a MK2 Focus then its an absolute nightmare of a job. So heres some advice when you eventually get the pedal out, put the new slave cylinder through the bulkhead first then fit the pedal. Once you get the cylinder into the pedal you can use a flat blade screwdriver on one of the lips to tap it round into position. 4 hours i tried putting the pedal back in with the cylinder attatched and got nowhere.
Just found out mine was leaking after my pedal stared squeaking and got a message of low brake fluid and found your video gave me some confidence so I think I’ll give it a shot. Gotta like n sub for the help!
Thank you so much for the like and sub. It's not a difficult job really. Take your time and don't loose the clip or the rubber part on the end of the pipe and you'll be fine 😊
If the problem came back that quickly with a new part installed, then it probably wasn't that part's fault. I wouldn't be surprised if it comes back again. Apparently people had both cylinders and the clutch itself replaced and the problem still returned. There has to be something different.
Blimey Mike that was crap of a job no wonder you didn’t look to happy about it Especially having to do it again ! Nicely done though mate glad it worked out 👍i bought myself a ford streetka on the weekend with a years mot and only 65k I took it for a spin the only thing wrong with it is it needs a heater valve as i can’t turn it off £11 and a motor in the passenger door for the central locking there about £20 ish it’s fab I love it 🤣 I like these sort of vids mate they teach me stuff 👍
I keep looking for a ka to buy. I used to drive them when they first came out and loved them. Congratulations on your purchase it sounds like a great deal.
@@mike_themechanic 13:45 into the video. It could be I have 2014 ecoboost version and the design slighty different perhaps, but mine would not seal until rubber pop onto plastic bit. Im only talking about the master unit😊
Ended up doing this, undoing the 4th nut and putting the pedal back was almost impossible had to put the clutch master cylinder in first then thread it through the pedal hole and attach it that way, other then that would of been stright forward, volvo v50 1.6
Not sure the name but it's connected with steering wheel and also a bar that looks to go across from one side of the car to at least the centre, had to squeeze my hand up side of pedal to get to the top nut, completely bruised and grazed my hand and wrist now but I wasn't gonna pull part the fhe whole car to get to it lol well worth it.

What size bolts mount the pedal???? I have to do this job tomorrow thinking im going to attempt to do everything from inside the car maybe detach the fluid hose from the reservoir
Do you know if it's possible to remove clutch bracket from clutch master cylinder without removing fluid lines, need to do thist so I can get to blower motor to press tab and turn motor to replace it. I have been trying to remove blower motor for weeks, driving me insane, have come to the realization that I will need to remove clutch bracket to give me room but don't want to disconnect brake fluid lines, any idea?
Could the master cylinder damage the slave cylinder? I have 2 slave cylinders failed in a short period. Both same brand, not sure what to do now. Every time I replaced all clutch parts…No symptoms before the pedal stuck on the floor… really worried will fail again It’s a Mondeo MK3 tdci
Har du fått ordning på kopplingen? Jag har samma fel på min, att pedalen inte kommer upp hela vägen. Jag böt bromsvätska med oljekanna via luftnippeln.

Hello , amazing video! My focus is a petrol st line version and it gets stuck half way but is intermittent! But only happens , when clutch is in waiting for a gap in traffic, and on hill starts! With one occasion which it stuck to floor! Which is scary😂 So this video now has gave me confidence on what’s faulty! Main question is, what goes wrong with the cylinder to stop the pedal coming up all the way?
It's probably leaking air into the pipes and thats why it doesn't come back up. The only tricky part is getting to the bolts on the bulk head everything else is fairly straightforward. Give it a go and I'm sure you'll get it sorted.
Strange. The only time you need to be neer the brakes in this job is when your disconnecting the pipes that are underneath the abs pump (on a LHD it is anyway) I'd get a computer connected and see what the fault code is
Hi will this be the same process with the volvo v50 1.6 I'm sure the engine parts the same, peddle sticking down mostly after reversing or sitting at traffic lights with clutch held down
@@fahri692 done a quick Google of that fault code, and it seams to be 2 sensors that are not saying the same thing. Not sure how to solve it as I don't have these sensors on mine unfortunately
Hi, my clutch pedal is sticking every now and then when I change gear, Ford focus 1.5tdci- got a guy coming to change the master cylinder. But I popped into a garage and he said it’s the slave cylinder and would cost about £800 what u relokon? Also Thers no leaking and gears and clutch seem fine.

@@RichardSmith-jm7ib I'd say probably not very likely to be honest. If you do do the slave cylinder you should do the clutch and flywheel at the same time as I did. I know the master cylinder is a common problem so I would have said that first as well.

No sorry. I can't see the part number for just that rubber part only the pipe. The part number for the pipe is 7A512B I assume that the little rubber comes with that pipe.

Hello again! 🫡
What u recommend to put, original one or aftermarket? If is aftermarket which brand you are recommending? Thks 🍻
Luke or sachs are probably the ones to go for as they make the orignal parts for Ford (ford don't make their own parts)

@@TobbeSogndal do you mean the pipe that goes to the slave cylinder?

Great video but not really said what is causing the pedal to stick, can it be repaired?
Air in the system is causing the pedal to stick down. It is fixed by replacing the master cylinder

Not sure but I would imagine about 2 hours labour plus parts
What was the mileage on the first 2 master cylinders?

The worst part is bleeding it especially on the diesel. I've compared it to the petrol and it's much better access there
They can make cars that are cheap to make and sell, or easy to fix but expensive. People choose the former.
