High clutch pedal

**kidalem** · 22-01-2008,11:25 PM

Hi Guys just I've become the proud owner of 04 130 tdi passat,the car is every thing that I had hoped for, that is apart from the clutch pedal which seems to be very high. There are no apparant problems with the clutch other than position of pedal, I've been told this is normal?. Are there any adjustment to lower the pedal or any know problems. Many thanks for any advice

It is a non adjustable hydraulic clutch. You could do with having someone familiar with the type of car try it to see what they think. How many miles has it done?

Hi
What miles is on your car?
When my bite pont came up high it lead to a new clutch and that was an expensive repair, your looking around £1000 average for a good job, dealers with charge you minimum of £1200.

When i got the new clutch the biting point was very low. From my experince when the clutch begins to wear the biting point rises as it adjusts itself. eventually it goes to the top and the clutch begins to slip

Have you noticed any clutch slipping yet?

Thankfully the price of the DMF has dropped dramatically recently.

Thank heavens for that, I wasn't looking forward to that bill come clutch replacement time!

Thanks forward the advice guys, the cars done 75000 miles probably 75% motorway miles. I must admit that the clutch is higher than I am used to but not has high as I made it sound, the more I drive the car the more natural it feels. I asked the local garage for quote to replace clutch they said about £500

Did that include the DMF?

Hi Crasher,

Newbie here, was just wondering where you were sourcing the cost of the DMF from? My 99 2.8 A6 Q is about to need a clutch and I am expecting it to be about £850

Be nice if the older model parts became cheaper!!

Cheers

Clutch pedals are often fairly high on VW's for some reason.....
