Hyundai i10 Heavy Clutch - Clutch cable replacement

This week we have a Hyundai i10 with a heavy clutch pedal where we diagnosed the problem being the clutch cable rusted out and stretched needing replacing.
Hey everybody, Igor here from Cars Exposed thanks for tuning in.
I will be uploading videos here every week Thursday at 18:30 sharing my experiences working around cars on my driveway, exposing issues, auto repair, auto electric, oil changes, services, projects and more...
Cheers 👍

Thank you so much for making this video. I was dreading the repair cost when my clutch cable snapped, but after watching your video, I was able to fit a replacement myself with no prior experience working on cars. Keep it up! For any novices like me, remember to turn the screw just under the battery clockwise to tighten everything up once fitted. This will slowly bring the biting point upwards! It’s also much easier to do this with the wire fixing by the battery disconnected and the cable pulled upwards by an assistant. After a few miles, a small retightening was needed but it’s been fine after that!

Watched this video after my i10 developed cable issues and found it really helpful. Following Igor's excellent tips I was able to change the cable myself with just a fairly basic toolkit. When I took the old cable off it had exactly the same problem as the one in the video - the collar behind the pedal linkage had broken off completely. Feels like a new car again! Thanks Igor :)

[@CarsExposed]

Vincent Blood you are welcome mate, well done just like the one that I fixed it felt like a new car too, it’s really nice to hear that sharing my videos I’m able to help ... Cheers 👍👍👍

[@chriscunningham1722]

Thanks for this video, it explained how to change the cable perfectly and fixed the problem on my Mum's i10. I bought a pattern part cable from eBay for £25 which fitted and worked no problem. The only thing I would have added is more information on how to adjust the cable because this turned out to be key to getting it all working correctly. As indicated in the comments you need to turn the 3 pronged wheel on the cable at the gearbox end underneath the battery tray. If your cable (and therefore pedal) is loose you need to turn this wheel CLOCKWISE. I found it was easier to disconnect the cable from gearbox and do the bulk of the turning until it was tight enough that you could still reattach it to the gearbox arm. After that you still need to adjust the cable wheel in situ to get the perfect position, but because of the fresh rubber grommet it won't turn easily with your finger tips so I sprayed a little GT85 (or WD40 would probably be fine) so that it turned easily; keep turning and checking the pedal travel/feel until you're happy, personally I kept turning until the wheel went a little tight as I found the pedal then had an excellent feel with the bite point about half way up the travel and no need to push it down anywhere near the floor. There was no clutch slip. I took the i10 for a test drive and after a few miles found the cable had stretched a little bit, so I tightened a little bit more and left it at that. Hope this helps someone in the future.

This helped.

[@MrTunes333]

Got the same item off ebay for £75 and just fitted it. It seems to have fixed my issue. My last cable was really stiff and causing my gear changing to crank. Now its smooth and pressed down easily. Thank you for these instructions! Word of warning for newbies.. Putting the pedal back on was a real head ache, as you have very little room (for my long arms) to latch the cable hook in and keep it hooked while you try to slip the pedal bolt back in.. but I got there in the end. important thing is this fixed the issue of my very stiff clutch pedal and occasional cranking gear changes.

[@truthministry.]

Nice one, this happened to my i10, today and oddly enough it was in Bournemouth, not far from where you test drove the car in this video. Thanks a lot for a very clear and simple way to replace this part, I'll hit the like.

[@klempy74]

Followed step by step with your video and it worked perfect…Thank you!

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

Great job! Nice to see these kinds of repairs. I must have been really lucky with any of the cars I've owned as they've never needed anything other than typical maintenance. 😊

[@CarsExposed]

Niamh Healy thx Niamh I really appreciate. I was surprised this one only had 40k ish on the clock but it’s 11 years old ... cheers 👍👍👍

[@Badgertronix]

Great job! Can't say I've seen a lot of clutch cables outside of classic cars!

[@CarsExposed]

thx mate, the same here i haven't seen one in years 😁👍👍👍

[@silversun371]

This Is a great video . Really helpful. Top man.

[@hakimchannel]

Thank you homie, useful video

[@derwindourado1763]

Thanks man. explained it very well. have the same problem and mech sorted it out. but didnt adjust the setting correctly. getting harder to engage the gears.

[@jamesw5147]

Just saved me £50 in fitting charges! Cheers mate 🤣

[@CarsExposed]

👍👍👍 cheers mate

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Nice repair and you made that look pretty easy. I bet there was a lot of grunting and groaning to fish the new cable in place and get it connected. You do good work!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@CarsExposed]

Grampie's Workshop she’s going good 🤣🤣, thanks Mike it was pretty straight forward to get the cable through the firewall but it took me a while to hook the cable to the clutch pedal cheers mate 👍👍👍

Thanks mate... are you travelling now ??? 😊😁😁 ... I just finished the night shift I should be filming tomorrow hopefully...

Were you in Germany lately ?

[@JohnnysSpeedShop]

@@CarsExposed no mate been travelling all over the USA, haven't been to Germany since 1999... why ? You see a wanted poster for me...lol

[@CarsExposed]

🤣🤣🤣 I think I saw one of your post on instagram in a pub in Hamburg or something and funny enough I flew to Hamburg and went to Wolfsburg to visit my cousin at that time ...

[@patilsuniln]

Thanks for your explanation.. it's really money saving tips.. and easy also.. those who are technical minded people can try.... interesting.. one more thing is please explain about clutch pedal cylinder replesment process and Mentananc...

[@CarsExposed]

A clutch pedal cylinder style is hydraulic generally shared with your brake fluid, no maintenance need unless they fail and start leaking, then you have to replace it and bleed them just like the brake callipers 👍👍👍👍

[@starshiphonda]

Good video. I have a 2010 i10. Bought a cable from main dealer €43. I tried to change cable but the part secured to body at clutch end has different rubbers. I couldn't get it off. Had to abandon and refit original cable. Refitting bolt for pedal is tricky too.

[@lauwe54]

thanks so much have this problem on my fiat punto 1999 so i think also i will install new cable,,thanks for sharing this

[@CarsExposed]

you are welcome mate 👍👍👍

[@mouradboubetana3402]

Thank you.

[@urbanfireblade]

Excellent video, is there any way to know you've adjusted the cable correctly? A pedal height measurement etc?

[@abofaisal2240]

Good job

[@jamesdavidge1295]

Hello, just seen your video that is very informative. I have an i10 with a stiff pedal and will change the clutch cable. Can you tell me that when you fitted the new one did you have to adjust the pedal or the cable at the other end? Many thanks, James

[@stevenmcc6052]

VERY GOOD VID. PROFICIENT MECH.

[@ep8029]

Thanks

[@maj6150]

Hi, i have a Kia Picanto and having a issue with a stiff clutch pedal.. its light to half way then feels like its getting stuck then goes all the way down. What i want to ask is did you check the old cable and was the inner cable moving freely or was it getting stuck. Because i took of one side (engine side) and it was moving nice a freely). Could it still be my cable?

[@nawfali2670]

I hope that your friend showed proper appreciation to this! 🤪

[@CarsExposed]

Oh yes mate he has thanks pal 👍👍👍

[@antoniotrove722]

very good video, just consider to do works without your Apple watch, it would be pity to scratch/break it ;-)

[@bodsy0]

Ive just replaced the cable as per video, however, i cannot select any gears?

[@Badgertronix]

My Hyundai has that second diagnostic port too!

[@CarsExposed]

Cool I thought that was a great ideia 👍👍👍

[@EXOVCDS]

@@CarsExposed for the factory tool... not a 16pin OBD2 connector, yes?

[@CarsExposed]

@@EXOVCDS i'm not sure bud but that explain why i never seen a obd port in the engine bay, it looked just like a 16pin one 👍

[@MrJayOcean]

Great video, doing the same job tomorrow on the same car. Just one question did you use lube on the cable?

[@CarsExposed]

jamie quigg Hi Jamie, I only used a little bit of grease at each end of the cable where it connects to the clutch pedal and clutch fork... good luck tomorrow 👍👍👍

[@MrJayOcean]

Easy job thanks to you top man 👍👍👍

[@CarsExposed]

jamie quigg thanks mate 👍👍👍

[@mrmwa84]

Great video mate. I have the same issue right now but the part listed states it won't fit my.1.1 litre engine. Do you know the part number for this engine/clutch? Thanks

[@CarsExposed]

Sorry I don’t mate, give Hyundai main dealer a call they should be able to help 👍

[@Hellaorj]

I have 2005 hyundai atos with a very high clutch and a hard pedal to. Wad this also higj

[@GSXRAlstareK3]

The earlier i10s have a different cable that does not have the ferrule. That part number 415100X911 is correct for later i10s My 14 plate had a different cable that was under £30. However that cable also fits but is far more expensive. After fitting you should also check the correct amount of free play and pedal height and travel. The adjustments are on the pedal carrier and also on the cable as it goes into gearbox/clutch housing.

[@eddiemulley5143]

😢

[@eddiemulley5143]

😮😮😅

[@TheDestructorOfficial]

Whats the cable dimensios and link of the part?

[@BELKOchannel]

what size of socket it is when you remove the air filter housing?

[@CarsExposed]

i believe it was 10mm

[@banafighta]

hiya nice tutorial, im trying to find the cable you have as I have a Hyundai i10. I cannot find it online - did you buy an original and how much did it cost? Because I just called Hyundai and they quoted £117 and said you cant get them elsewhere is this true?

[@CarsExposed]

Thanks mate, It was genuine from Hyundai I think I paid the same price £117, you can get it from eBay but the difference wasn’t that big so preferred to go genuine 👍👍👍

[@sonamyoezer3619]

I had a same problem of heavy clutch in i10 delite, 2011 model with 70K km Odo, mechanic just told to change the whole clutch plate ? Is it really necessary or by just changing the cable my issues can be solved?

[@CarsExposed]

It depends ... is your problem cable or clutch ? If the clutch pedal is heavy I would put my bets in the cable 👍

[@matiasgrunewaldsoto5710]

Hello. I have a Kia picanto.very similar. I have a question about the car in the video, how Many Miles o km did the car have? Also. what year was this car Made? Greetings from Chile.

matias Grünewald Soto hello mate, it’s a year 2009 and it had 65km on the clock ... Chile 🇨🇱 fantastic, yo soy brasileño somos viziños 😊👍👍👍 buena sorte com o trabajo

[@joannalemanska369]

Which year is the Hyundai i10 you fitted the clutch cable please?

[@CarsExposed]

2010 .

[@kushalsenlaskar]

How many KM's the car is driven? And another question , before replacing the clutch cable did you face hard gear stick while shifting gears ? I am facing right now in my grand i10 petrol car

[@CarsExposed]

Kushal Sen Laskar 65000 km, shifting gears was fine it quite smooth ...

[@kushalsenlaskar]

@@CarsExposed replacing clutch cable can fix hard clutch?

[@CarsExposed]

It can specially the i10 they are well known for rusty clutch cable where the clutch pedal becomes hard .

[@himanshgarg9194]

Bro I also have i10...I want to ask if we can adjust these cables???

[@CarsExposed]

fun 4 life it can be done, there is a little adjuster wheel at the end of the cable gearbox side that you can adjust but if the cable it’s too stretched it won’t be enough 👍👍👍

[@cannabisfarmoutdooruk4729]

Did you need to adjust it at all after fitting?

[@CarsExposed]

Most of the time you need a bit of adjusting 👍

[@sidaliderradji2681]

Good video but you could if showed us how you fitted back into place

[@CarsExposed]

Sorry man

[@coraliewebster8333]

How much would you expect to pay at a garage to have this done? I've just been quoted £237.48. I took it in last September as the clutch pedal was very stiff and sometimes difficult to get into reverse. They charged me for a new clutch. Last week there was a bang and the pedal went all floppy and of course, it's the clutch cable. I'm so mad I could spit. I'm sure they're pulling a fast one. I'd be grateful for any comments x

[@CarsExposed]

Coralie Webster A new cable from Hyundai costs about £120 and I would say it’s probably an hour labour job, most garages will charge £50 for labour plus VAT so £60 + £120 = £180 so it seems a little bit off ...

[@coraliewebster8333]

Thanks. I'll bear that in mind. I've just spoken to them about the cost of the cable. They told me £97 and it would take two hours to fit. I've informed them it should be around one hour as several other places have said the same. I'm ready for a fight if necessary!

[@CarsExposed]

Coralie Webster £97 for the part is probably before VAT, I can’t never blame garages for charging more because their overheads and comebacks and to be fare they follow the service book and if it says 2 hours labor even if takes less time they will charge you for the 2 hours but it took me an hour to change this cable filming it as well dead easy ... good luck 👍

[@MrTunes333]

I can find a cable for my car online for cheap and they look exactly the same, but I cant seem to find any that are hyundai on brand, does it matter?

[@CarsExposed]

MrTunes it shouldn’t be a problem if it’s the same regarding fixings and length , probably better to message the seller just to confirm it... I decided to go OEM because it was in stock and the owner decided to go for it 👍👍👍
