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.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
