High Biting Point on Clutch

[Hongkongphooey]

I'm guessing this is a sign of the clutch wearing out? If so has anyone had to replace a clutch on an 8v GTi and how much is that likely to cost (supply and kit) to get a VDub specialist do this?

It certainly ain't critical but I really don't like the feel of it right now.

Make sure you get the seals done while its off.
About 110 all in for the kit and 150 fitting round here.
Don't forget it will most likely knock your tracking out.
What's your linkage like?

You have to take the bottom joint apart to get the shaft out. It doesn't always go back exactly in the right place.

but you can take out balljoint pinch bolt and lever wishbone down and pull out hub.that way you don't disturb any track settings. I find if you take of gearbox mount then undo cv joint nut you can pull the shaft into engine bay slightly then pull down and out below front bumper. works on mk2 anyway.

Thats how I do it normally, sometimes it goes back spot on other times it can be a little out.
My old man has tracking equipment so its no bother to me
A lot of garages pop the bottom joint and rack, ive even seen them take the whole strut out
