C1 Car Mat Problem

[littleminxx]

hi has any 1 else had the same problem as me and if so how do you rectify it. i was driving to my parents the other day and nearly crashed i couldnt press the pedals properly and didnt understand why.

 

when i did make it to my parents i got out had a look and it was the mat under the pedals had some how gone over them i tried to move it but as its bolted in i couldnt, twice this has happend now and i dont rearly want it to happen again coz nxt time who knows what might happen so im asking if any 1 knows if i can take the mat out and replace it with a bigger one because clearly citroen made them to small ;)

That's very dangerous! I wouldn't drive the car again until you can be sure it won't happen again.

 

Do you mean an extra mat on top of the carpet had moved, or is it the actual carpet that has caught on the pedals?

 

If it is extra mats, they should hook over the metal spike in the drivers footwell just in front of the seat. This is there specifically to stop the mat moving forwards under the pedals. My mats stop well short of the pedals.

Toyota had a recall on Acclerator Pedals and the Aygo is one of them so maybe the C1 which is produced in the same factory is also affected? Worth investigating?
