yesterday my clutch pedal feels crunchey when i push it down,any1 know what could be wrong .it used to be perfect before yesterday .

ps will it cost loads to fix as im skint.all gear work smoothly .just the pedal is not smooth any more

Could be one of 3 things

1. cable needs oiling
2. your pedal box is about to snap
3. your release bearing is worn and needs replacing

alex how much would the pedal box cost.i think mine has had the recall.also the release bearing is that costly.
i cant do the work myself as i know f**k all about mechanics cheers bro

Pedal box is expensive in labour as the steering column has to come out, but the part is about 30 squids

Release bearing again cheap part, but the gearbox and clutch have to come out to fit. Most people have the clutch done at the same time.

It really needs a proper diagnosis - where abouts do u live mate?

south london mate.if i grease the pedal is it easy for a mechanic noob.
i dont think its pedal box as most pedal box symptoms are struggling with reverse ect,i have no gear problems touch wood.
alex im not 100% sure my gti has defo had the recall,if it aint would vw still do the work free?

Depends on mileage and age mate all you can do is call and beg

Youd have to remove the cable which if your not confident with mechanics can go horribly wrong

cheers bro . ill beg if the pedal stops working at the mo its just annoying having it crunchey lol its x reg 81000 miles on the clock .

i just bought 50-50 springs ronal ls so have no money

Mine clutch pedal creeks

Mine will crunch if I red line 2nd... Ohh well, just another thing to add to the to do list
