How to Fix the Squeaky Clutch Pedal on the Peugeot Rifter

Model: Peugeot Rifter MK 1 - Years 2018-2026
Part: Checks and maintenance

Let’s see how to eliminate the squeak from the clutch pedal on the Peugeot Rifter: first, identify the type of squeak: if it is sharp and metallic, it comes from the hydraulic actuator; if it is a strident and plastic sound, it comes from the pivot points of the pedal; if it is a dry "click", it could be a worn pin. The most common cause is the first, and it is a simple and economical solution. Use silicone WD-40, which can be found on Amazon with the code B00GTV25D4 for €11.50 for a 400 ml can.

In addition to lubricating the visible components as shown in the video, and tightening all the fastening bolts, open the bonnet and locate the secondary clutch cylinder, which is on the side of the gearbox. Look for the arm that comes out of the body and spray it generously. Ask an assistant to press the clutch pedal several times slowly while you continue to spray. This way, the squeak should be drastically reduced.
