JUDDERY CLUTCH PEDAL - MK3 GOLF
« on: 01 November 2013, 23:47 »
Hi guys, not been on here for ages it seems. I still have my beloved 1.6 mk3 which now has over 151k on the clock and still runs superbly considering.

The reason I decided to return here is because over the last year especially; my clutch pedal has becom increasingly juddery and somewhat stiff. as you lift your foot of the clutch pedal, it makes a sound that I feel is best described rhe sound of car tyres being rubbed against each other. Not only is the sound annoying but most importantly it means tbT I can not drive as smoothly as i could (i.e. juddery jerky starts especially). Is there anyway of stopping this juddering from occuring? Maybe the pedal mechanism needs oiling?

Any one got any experience wirh this.

Ps the clutch was chanved 3 years ago so should still bee fine

thank you for any help
