Hi - Any help advice would be appreciated...
I have a 2001 Passat, recently (a couple of months ago) the clutch pedal dropped about 50%. I can pull it up with my foot but this is pointless because it drops back down. The clutch still works and I can change gear - however, it is becoming more and more difficult to engage in gears - i have to almost force it in occasionally... especially when cold??
Also, sometimes in waiting at traffic lights in first, it feels as if the clutch is trying to bite slightly - which suggests it is not depressed enough...?
Any ideas what may have happened? Is this a common problem, Do i need a bleed...? If I can sort this out myself, it would be preferably than visiting the belly of the beast (a cowboy garage!).
Thanks!!!:1zhelp:
