Hey all,
Had a leaky clutch master cylinder and car is out of warranty. Replaced the clutch master myself with the help of my father (retired ase Toyota master). Job wasn't too difficult but after bleeding the clutch and starting the car for the first time it displayed engine fault. Car won't start unless clutch and break are depressed. No obd2 codes just engine fault. Took car to Ford for diagnosis as their ids system is needed to read the fault. Tech claimed clutch master position sensor is causing fault. They quoted me 600 and change to replace clutch master assembly as they cant order the position sensor by itself. I explained the master cylinder had already been replaced and that the sensor wasn't damaged. When I first got the fault we double checked all electrical connections and that the sensor had been installed correctly. I asked if it may just be a calibration procedure and the tech claimed there wouldn't be any calibration needed if the sensor was replaced. Not sure if I'm just dealing with an inexperienced tech. Has anyone run into this (maybe a Ford tech on this forum). I'd be happy to replace the sensor myself if I could get a part number from Ford. By the way, what a cheap ****ty plastic master, only lasted 40k.
