Saitek Pedals Strange Sound

[warsign]

Eko1, 141 st Wolves V.T.A.I had an issue recently due to Saitek rudder pedals' strange sound. After that, he contacted Saitek Germany. An authorized person confirmed that Saitek rudder pedals 2006-2009 production series have this issue and sent him a fixing document about this...

I've a Saitek pedals, which I'm not using for now.
Don't remember that sound. But I'll surely check that.

For me too. It is working well for now(I bought early 2009).But If it happens, solution is very simple actually. It is problem due to oilless parts. My friend in that forum solved the problem easly recently. They have been said, 2010 series have no problem...

Please look original thread, there are new photos about repairing issue.

I've already seen it. Even when it is in Turkish (with those characters).
I bought mine in the beginning of this year. But that doesn't mean they are a 2010 series.

Yup, you are in safe zone(2010). If anyone has problem like this, I can contact the guys to learn small details (If there are any) and I can translate here everything you need. Just let me know. Don't try to learn our language, more difficult than English!

Most important thing, they prefer a machine oil using on racing bike's chains for moving parts/gears in rudder pedal(includes silicon). Saitek's grease oil is not good enough, for this reason gears/moving parts make sound and take damage in time.

If you hear any sound, fix it immediately...

Thanks warsign.
About the Turkish, well maybe one day who knows.
Portuguese is also more difficult than English.
