How to Change the Clutch Cable on a Citroen Xsara 2004

Model: Citroen Xsara MK 1 - Years 1997-2006
Part: Clutch

Let's see how to change the clutch cable on a Citroen Xsara: in this specific case, the pedal was stuck to the floor and would not return. The typical sign of a broken cable. Under the steering wheel, near the pedal, you will find the adjuster with a nut and a 13 mm bolt; loosen it to free the pedal. The cable is attached to the pedal with a white plastic clip, which we will remove to disconnect the cable. Follow the path of the cable from the pedal assembly to the engine bay, where it passes through guides: one near the gearbox and the other above the gearbox casing. Completely remove the old cable and insert the new one, which you will have purchased from auto-doc. It has the EAN code 5907668231331 at a price of £16.49 + £9.95 for shipping. The new cable should be inserted following the same path (and it may not be easy). Once the cable reaches the pedal, insert it into the housing, replace the white plastic clip to secure it, attach the other end of the cable to the clutch fork on the gearbox, and adjust the play of the clutch with the adjustment nut.
