Clutch alteration
« on: 06 November 2010, 16:43 »
Hey guys

 Picked up my 1st ever VW  :cool: Its a golf mk3 vr6,  more than happy with, BUT theres one niggly thing.

The clutch bites really low, is there a way of altering it? or is it a garage job?

The clutch should bite low. Its hydraulic, so its not adjustable.
How low does it actually bite?

From foot flat to the carpet, Bite point 1cm and fully off 2cm  :embarassed: just doesnt feel right. There no slipping, and got a receipt for new clutch almost 9k miles ago, so pretty sure it aint that/

Might be worth bleeding it 1st and seeing it makes any difference.
