Brake pedal rubber...

    Car's just failed NCT (surprise surprise).

    One of the items on the fail list was the brake pedal itself, something along the lines of no rubber fitted.
    Thing is there was never a rubber on the pedal, it's just black painted metal with grooves and grips.
    Searches for a brake pedal rubber for a Peugeot 106 as a spare part have come up a blank and I'm starting to think that peuget designed the brake pedal like this.
    What do I do if I can't find the part, assuming it exists...

    Any 106 owners out there who can tell me if there should be a rubber lining on the pedal or if it's metal only?

    In the NCT manual it says "Brake pedals should not be rejected for not having a pedal rubber if they were not designed to have one".

    Contact a Peugeot garage and ask.

    I would be very surprised if the brake pedal didn't have rubber although I do know that the accelerator pedal on the Fiat Seicentos didn't have rubber on them, the brakes pedals however, did.

    Yeah that was next on my to do list, some other pressing issues to get to, failed on brake balance, travel and the bloody emissions (after getting the exhaust looked at yesterday :rolleyes: )

    Like I say the pedal looks like it was designed to be rubberless , it certainly never had a rubber when I bought it, and my foot has yet to slip off the pedal. The paint has worn to reveal bare steel...perhaps a quick lick of paint :P

    Use an engine cleaner to get your emmissions down!! I normally do a service and put an engine flush through before I do the oil etc!!

    Nah guy says I have a small hole in the pipe where the exhaust system enters the engine and the condensed water is leaking...needs to be welded. It's the particle emissions part that it's failing due to this leak...
    Suppose it wouldn't hurt to take up your suggestion...where do I gte engine cleaner and how do I use it?


    Just off the phone to peugeot...they reckon there IS a brake pedal rubber and will order it for me. So that's one thing ticked off.

    Just get some injector cleaner from any motor factor, put it in the fuel and don't forget to give it planty of revs on the way to the test centre. helped me pass my emissions :)

    Unless they come with the car leaving the factory, they have to be replaced.

    (PS - it only applies to the brake pedal)
