i've not got a mk3 yet..

but its should be the same as on the vento i had, it was self adjusting, which means it cant be manually adjusted..

sounds like a new clutch mate

hope this helps,  ;)

Might be worth changing the cable first, the self adjusting mechanism is a bit rubbish.

Sounds more like the clutch gone though :(

Had mine about a month now and my clutch slips if your in any gear and floor it quickly, I must admit it doesnt happen all the time but enough to be anoying. Ive got reciepts to say the car had a complete clutch 20k ago .
Does anyone have any answers or ideas. Thanks
