GT TDI 140 Clutch bite and release point

[Maka344]

Hello guys

I recently upgraded my 06 1.9TDi Jetta (single mass fly wheel) to a 2011 GT TDI Golf, I'm the 2nd owner and the Golf has 26k. I bought used and approved from VW 3 weeks ago and have done around 600 miles.

The clutch begins to bite 1/3 from the floor but feels/seems to fully release near the top of the peddle, is the normal? No slipping or vibrations.

If I release the clutch slightly quick in 1st or 2nd the car jerks/launches forward.

Gear changes are smooth.

What is your MK6 like?

Thanks mate, that's all I wanted to know.

So far, I'm loving it.

Candy White, 18'' it's a big upgrade from my previous car.

Sounds nice. The GT is a cracking all round car in my opinion. Shiny Skoda Yeti exhaust tips are a must tho'. The best £25 you'll spend on it.

Is the bite supposed to get higher with motorway driving? Around town it seems to be 1/3 from the floor however, on the motorway it goes a little higher. Or after fast speeds

My MK6 GTI was the same  i noticed it mostly in multistorey carparks, the MK7  is much smoother.

I was literally just about to post about something similar with my own MK6 GT TDI 2.0. Some mornings when im taking off, as im coming off the clutch in first gear (only happens in first gear), theres shuddering from the engine, the kinna shuddering you get when its going to konk out, but im giving plenty of revs. If i stop the car then take off again, it will happen again but not as bad as the first time, then as it warms up it goes away. It also does it in reverse. The car has just hit 12k and is a year and 4 months old :/ Is this something to worry about?

I think it's normal, i'm now on 27k and there is no slipping at all.
