    Hello all

    I have recently purchased a 206 XSi 1.6.

    The clutch pedal when at rest is higher than the footrest which is causing
    me to catch my foot under the lip of the clutch pedal when I move my left
    foot across.

    Does anyone know how I would go about lowering the clutch pedal height?

    Thanks in advance

    Kevin

    Check your cable you can ajust it so it will be higher or lower.

    Gear box end should be a juster nut if you do it up the pedal gos up
    and if you undo it the pedal gos down .if it is self ajuster your find
    that at the top of the pedal you will have to remove the padding above
    the pedals,

    Hello Chris

    Thanks for the reply.

    This is starting to sound too difficult for me to do, is it a difficult job?

    Thanks in advance

    No very easy todo.just follow the cable from the bulk head to the gear
    box and u should find the ajuster.but if it is not there dont worry
    some has not nicked it ,have a look under the dash by the pedals.where
    they are all on a shaft, on the top of the clutch one there is a
    plastic bit which you can pull back and it will ajust the cable if it
    needs it.

    If the cable has an auto-adjuster in it, then you might well not have the
    adjustment at the end above the gearbox.

    Hello

    I followed the cable to the gearbox and there is a small black plastic nut
    at the end, is this the adjuster you mean?

    Sorry for being a pain but I want to make sure I am doing this right.

    Thanks in advance

    If the cable gos through it yes.and there is a thread which gos through
    the black plastic nut.if you turn it anti-clockwise that brings the
    pedal down, and if you go the other way that puts the pedal up.

    Hi Chrs,

    Looking to adjust the clutch pedal height in my '99 106 - cable is
    self adjusting. Can you explain the below in a little more detail
    please so I can see if I can adjust the pedal height this way?

    "they are all on a shaft, on the top of the clutch one there is a
    plastic bit which you can pull back and it will ajust the cable if it
    needs it. "

    Cheers!

    Al.
