How to repair the clutch pedal of the Citroen Berlingo

Model: Citroen Berlingo MK 2 - Years 2008-2018
Part: Clutch

The issue we see on this Citroen Berlingo in the video is that the clutch pedal stays down and does not return up by itself. The YouTuber dismantles the entire pedal assembly and discovers that the problem lies with the self-adjusting mechanism of the clutch cable. There is a spring that should retract the cable when the pedal is released, but it is not functioning: it has likely lost strength and has oxidised during an engine wash. Instead of buying the expensive self-adjusting replacement, purchase a manual adjustable cable, so it can be fixed immediately without waiting for the part to arrive (and it costs half the price). Insert the component from the engine side, go under the dashboard to attach it to the pedal, then return under the bonnet to adjust the tension with the data and adjust until the pedal has the correct play. Unfortunately, after reassembling everything (and the clutch issue has been resolved), the car vibrates excessively when starting. The YouTuber then takes the vehicle to the garage and discovers that the flywheel had come loose (a potentially disastrous issue). The repair costs a fair bit of money but avoids a major future problem.
