Hi All,
me and some of our team members are using ClubSport V3 pedals.
3 of us have the issue, that when we release the accel. pedal fast during racing we can hear a loud noise on that pedal.
This noise is only applying when we release the pedal fast.
Following things we have tried already:
- I tried already to use silicon spray but didn't helped.
- tighten the screw where the bolt of the spring is connected
- tried to tighten the screws on the right hand site of the accel. pedal
Nothing helps. Can somebody or Fanatec helps here?
Thanks and best regards,
Christian

What loud noise exactly? Can you make a small video? Doesn't it just hit the end stop? Can you reproduce the sound while pressing/releasing the pedal with your hand, so you can try and see/hear what part of the pedal is generating the noise?
It is a squeak noise.
yes i can reproduce it every time.
I will try to make a video when I am at home.
For me it seems that this noise is coming from the mid of the pedal where the bolt of the spring is mounted to the pedal arm
I found the issue for the squeak noise.
The small black block between the pedal which holds the silver bold.
I have disassemble the whole acc. pedal and put some silicon spray + lithium oil to this small block and now it seems that the problem is gone.
That's good news, thanks for the update.
Hmm I have bad news. Seems that it helps for some days but since yesterday evening the noice is back.
Seems that it helps just for some days :-(
Do you see scratch/wear marks on this black block or on the pedal where it is fixed that maybe indicate a bad fit?
Yes you can see that the site of this block is nearly complete silver. seems that it is not fitting 100%.
Remco, any suggestions from your site?
Hi.
I think I have the same issue with this squeak. I tried to stay "pedal to the metal", so the noise is gone, but the results in simracing are not excellents.
If I file the block I can see on the photo with two red arrows, will it help or just degrade my CSP?
Thanks.
Sorry for the double post, it seems that the manual indicates the solution on page 40
So "RTFM" like they say in english.
