Clutch pedal travel cdti 75
Hi all. I’ve had my 75 for about six months, recently I think I’ve noticed that the clutch pedal has a little slack travel until you feel like you’re pushing against something. I’d say about half way from top (which it does return to) is when you feel like you’re doing something.
The car has always had a little clutch judder when cold (I guess this could be engine though) The question being, is there a problem here or am I imagining it? Thanks in advance Eddie. |

I did a fluid change on mine last week all old fluid bled out was dirty and the feel in the pedal is much better worth doing and free bit awkward bending under the steering wheel but do able

It does sound like you have an issue, bleed it through and see if things improve.

Thanks. I’m really not very hands on, but would you say it’s a job for a novice with a £10 tool kit, or should I leave this to the professionals?

If you're not confident about it send BigRuss a PM. He's less than 10 miles away in Liversedge.

That was my next port of call, he’s done some stuff for me in the past and is absolutely spot on.
