I love the satisfying feeling when you get to the bottom of an issue like that, especially if it's something you wouldn't haven't even considered at the start... Yes you're a few quid more out of pocket than you'd like (or was probably necessary) but you now have so much more understanding of the clutch system on your car (we all do now 🤣)! The Vignale is a beautiful motor, so much more than a Mondeo, fingers crossed that you can enjoy it hassle free for a while now🤞🏼

Interesting problem and good diagnostics for the solution. FTE has designed and added several mystery parts to clutch hydraulic systems. The large damper that you unscrewed is a vibration dampener for the hydraulic system. It's job is to minimize engine buzz that can be felt in the pedal. The pipe that connects to the CSC you showed a brief exploded view but the part that is about 2 1/2" long and has a black plastic horseshoe retainer, open that one up again by prying out the retainer. Pull apart slowly to catch all the parts. Note the component orientation. In the pedal going down mode all of the fluid flows thru that little shuttle/piston assy. In a normal pedal up mode fluid returns thru it easily. But if you dump the clutch that hi speed return flow closes the shuttle/piston down and restricts the fluid flow. By controlling the engagement the hydraulic system is helping to protect the drivetrain from a CLUTCH DUMP shock engagement. And if you go a bit farther into removing the guts from that restrictor you'll find a rubber grommet inside that has a small air chamber outside of it, again another mini damper by the air getting compressed. It's small but it's there. The diagnosis of the clutch being held released was a very good diagnostic clue as to what was not the problem. I used to have an engineering paper describing these features, but its "in the bin". In the USA one of the first places we saw this combination was in about 2005- Dodge Ram pick up with the Cummins 5.9L and 6.7L diesels with the G56 6-speed trans. BTW the "guts" of the mini damper flow return restrictor can be completely removed and reassembled, no leaks. But then you loose the clutch dump drivetrain protection. As far as the DMF destruction, not a good idea why, depends on who made that DMF as to possible internal hunches for failure. Good job finding the RED X. Gary, A Clutch Guy.

In the 80's I worked at Vauxhall - A car was getting the Pre Delivery Inspection (PDI) and there was a "tinny Clunk - & sometimes a machine gun type rattle" everyone in the workshop had a go at it - eventually the WHOLE CAR was stripped down - as the exhaust was being lifted off a 13mm nut fell out ! That was the clunk - it depended on how the nut lay - so on acceleration it would roll along the pipe The were NO 13mm nuts on the exhaust system - obviously someone had put it there It got labeled a "revenge nut" - LOL 😆

That's interesting and makes sense. But never heard something like that to happen. My good friend is heavy equipment mechanic and he has seen rubber brake line (or clutch line, I can't remember which), but once he had case where pressure wasn't released and he had gone through the system and changed hose and sliced it open. It had had a very small piece of rubber torn at inside which had worked as one-way valve. He mentioned that the line hadn't looked new, but not really that bad. But anyway he said that it was one hell to diagnose and find out. As it's easy to figure he had disassembled many other pieces on system to eventually found this. Pretty much identical as that Rolls Royce thing that was mentioned. Anyway good reminder for all mechanics that they should always check out seals on disassembled components that something like this wouldn't happen. I mean if you take part out, visual checking doesn't take virtually any time. As machine mechanic I have seen somewhat similar thing, that automatic solenoid valve didn't work properly and cause was that fitting apparently had been assembled with PTFE-tape that had unwound, possibly cut by threads and stuck in orifice ("pilot hole") near rubber membrane.

Cracking video! I've got an idea about the 'first owner', I used to work at ERAC (Enterprise rent-a-car) and a lot of our ford fleet had reg numbers beginnings with E (e.g. EA66 like on this one) and that could explain why it's had an absolute hammering? Hire cars are so often found on the used car market but it's hidden really well even in used car stock. 😬

Thinking about this, The O ring would have to be partly torn for a piece to fall into the slave cylinder on fitting, so that means whoever refitted the original pipe didn't look at it. Then as you fitted a new clutch, flywheel, slave cylinder and the damper valve the dislodged part of the O ring must have been sitting inside the pipe that connects to the slave cylinder. Probably got flushed back into the new slave cylinder on bleeding up the new parts. Then it lurked there till the fluid flow picked it up and backed the restrictor in the Tee Piece. There is a lot of unnecessary complication on that clutch pipe. Every part of a system is a potential failure point, really a problem on modern vehicles.

The inline “disk” is actually a damper. It’s to remove vibrations transferred from the clutch itself through to the clutch pedal. Very simple design, also used in hydraulic pump industrial applications.

Indeed, DMFs can last well over 100K miles dependent on journey type and how much a knob the driver is! (My 2005 MK2 Focus 1.8 TDCi just hit 174K miles and it's still on it's original clutch, DMF, high pressure pump, injectors and turbo). Just goes to show that with a bit of luck and good maintenance a relatively modern engine can last for years longer than people might expect.

Brilliant bit of detective work! I wonder whether that bit of o-ring was floating around from the factory, perhaps responsible for clutch slip and overheating of the flywheel leading to a replacement at such low mileage then another the same interval later. I find it hard to believe it would be possible to drive hard/badly enough to ruin it in 15K miles otherwise.

Cavitational effect in the hydraulic fluid caused by the bit of o ring in combination with the spring in the fluid damper probably lead to premature flywheel issues. Cavitational effect is often mistaken for air in an hydraulic fluid. It is in fact a micro vacuum of bubbles of nothing. This sets up a very high frequency pulse onto the clutch release bearing which as it rotates creates a small swash plate effect. Anything that resonates in harmony with this vibration can actually fail. Very often the thing that is designed to compensate for such things such as a dual mass flywheel can actually be effected as its being stimulated out of tune with what it's meant to do and then eventually fails a lot quicker. The vibration cannot necessarily be heard or felt but will be there and can be very destructive.

You'll get one like that, maybe once in a lifetime that will do ya head in. Mine was am almost new Granada 2.8i ghia x back in the 80's. Ran like a dream for a few months, then just started cutting out once it got warm, let it cool down and would start back up and run, until it got warm again. No obd back then so educated guess about what it could be and replace it, over a good few weeks (waiting for bits mostly) changed, swapped or try'd almost everything that made the car run and it still kept doing it. Kinda felt it was starving of fuel so clutching at straws dropped the fuel tank off to see if anything was going on inside. BINGO, the tank looking from underneath looked perfect but the top was caved in, turned out the owners Mrs had lost the locking petrol cap and had got a new one from somewhere that was wrong, an unvented one. Car ran, pulled a vacuum in tank cut out, let it sit air would creep back into tank then run again. Drilled a 2mm hole in the aftermarket fuel cap and it ran like a dream, didn't seem right to fit and charge them for a new one as they were looking at a fairly hefty labour bill.

Just throwing it out there Alan, but from experience Ben's car could of been a "Trial" car for Police forces. I've driven a few when we have had them and obviously they can put through their paces usually by the driver training unit and operational officers to see if it meets their own requirements. The fact it will of been registered to a dealer is normal as that's who supplied the demo vehicle. I can't think of anyone else who could knacker a flywheel & clutch in 15K other than a pursuit driver! Even a clown of a sales person would be dragged over the coals by the dealer principle if they caused that if it were a normal demo car dealer motor. Glad it's sorted now and the cause was discovered, great detective work!! 🤣👍

Hello mate. That black thing I assume is a pressure reducing valve. We use them on the incoming mains to reduce the pressure to 3 bar but also balance the cold main coming into your home. Otherwise, your mixer taps wouldn't work evenly. The cold would come out too quickly. Thought you might want to know that. I'm learning about cars and your videos are very helpful. Nice one ;) Lookup a control set for an unvented hot water cylinder. You can take that inner bit out and like you said it will have a desk with a spring. The housing unit will fill up with oil and build up pressure on the spring. It will flow directly through but if there is a delay in the pipe with the supply of oil then that buffer will be able to keep the right amount of pressure. You can open it, just pushes back together. Although I'm not a mechanic lol

It went through MOTs and service guy said ignore it until it breaks proper. I sold it like that telling the dealer that it probably needed a new clutch.

This is like watching CSI but for cars haha love it, the knowledge in this video is unparalleled 👌 Have a Mk2.5 2008 Ford Focus that had clutch problems from day one when I bought it used, still rattles on startup and does a weird noise when you turn the steering sometimes randomly like something is going back into place but can honestly say its been super reliable the last 6 years and just learned to live with it, still love it tho 👍

That’s an excellent video and I really appreciate your work. I’m living a similar nightmare these days with an older Mondeo 2006 2 litre. I have replaced teo slave cylinders in less than 10k miles…I cannot find any fault. The orings inside the cylinder splits. Is there any way to check if the pressure going to the cylinder is it to high? I put a different brand now but still worried that will happen again. You have all my respect for the job you’ve done!!!

Had smilliar problem on a Insignia B. Thought first it was master cylinder or the vale you took apart changed all that. (i thik its for let the pedal more easy/slowly.) The car had done 80.000km and i was the first to work on the car. (dealer), The slave cylinder looked fine and also the clutch. So we changed the slave cylinder and i worked

I'm sure that FORD is an acronym of For Overhaul and Repair Daily...My workmate had just returned his New FORD after a multitude of faults, window heaters, ASB, Airbags, etc. Got his money back!

Thats's Ford dealers for you, My mates van went in for the MOT and a service and it passed with no advisories even though it was smoking bad and the handbrake hardly worked. Turns out the DPF was fully saturated and when it was taken to another garage a month after, they reckon Ford never touched it or even changed the oil. The only thing I use Ford for for my car, a Mondeo ST is parts because other than that they're about as useful as a nuns knockers.

would it be the clutch kits were spurious, had this with an astra h plate, 3 slave cyl from sachs and luk didnt work,. used an opel slave cyl (metal backed one with stronger spring) and presto, clutch pedal lifted and worked perfect... sach and luk kits are plastic slave with a weak spring leaves the pedal reaction as this one... great vid as always alan, keep them coming...
