Hi
Few days ago our 307 HDI 110 clutch went a bit strange, it seems the whole of the clutch movement has gone down to half the travel of the pedal.
The top of the travel is loose and doesn't feel like its engaging anything, after that the clutch operates before the pedal hits the floor.
I have experience of older cable and simple hydraulic systems, but never touched the 307 clutch system.
It doesn't feel like the clutch system, so Im assuming its the master or slave. Any thoughts of how to eliminate either so I replace the faulty component.
Could be a problem with the clutch lever release arm where it mates with the release bearing and not a hydraulic fault. To check this would mean the gearbox will have to be removed.
The heat expands the fluid so it gets better then when cold it contracts costs nothing to check the fluid level
My espace does the same if left for a week you sometimes have to pull the pedal up with your foot but once warmed up its fine but they are hard to fill and have no bleed screw so are a pain to bleed so i just leave it
I would start by bleeding the clutch hydraulics and replacing the fluid if you can. Can't remember that detail on the 307, my current 308 has a bleed nipple on the clutch cylinder.
The other thing unfortunately is that the DMF can give clutch problems when it's on the way. Well that's waht happened to my 307 110 HDi according to the previous owner.
If the fluid is low you will notice a difference within a few miles it does not need bled it will actually fix itself as the action of the pedal and the vibration agitates the fluid and forces the air to the top.
You can speed this up on cars with external slaves by forcing the piston fully in a few times this pushes fluid back through system forcing the air out.
Give it a few days before condemning it master cylinders do sometimes go bad
