When I bought my polo, i had an RAC check-over done. THe pedal box had gone, causing poor gear selection and the clutch travel suffered.
Dont know if this is any help?!

Do not panic just yet... When the clutch fails you will know about it. The car doesn't pull when the clutch is gone, so untill it reaches that stage there's no need to panic or take any action.
