As your brake pads wear does the brake pedal not 'fall' a little?

is it possible to adjust pedal/bite point for a quicker disengage/engage? (TT?)

Nope.  It is all hydraulic - meaning no adjustment.

I only rest my foot when doing a lot of town driving, but not so it burns the clutch out.

Still not good at all.  Driving instructor cars are generally "town driving", and they get through clutches like no-ones business.  Don't do it.  Modern hydraulic clutches are generally very sensative, and "light on the pedal", so any "resting" will cause the clutch to slip - even if you cant actually feel it.

I know its suposed to be the same height as the brake pedal but sits a tiny bit higher. Hope theres some adjustment in there with out taking too much up on the clearance?. But then if its a hydraulic clutch it can't be adjusted can it?

Have you had a look at the workshop manuals http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=54324 in the maint section http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?board=59.0?  Only having two pedals, I personally haven't felt the need to look.  :tongue:  :grin:

Nope.  The pedal stays the same, but the level of brake fluid in the master cylinder resevoir "falls".  :tongue:  :nerd:  :wink:  :smiley:

I've never had any issues with the clutch position. Maybe it's a bad fitting or something?

me neither ?
