Stiff clutch pedal

Post by Drix »

Hi all

New here, been the owner of a 96 1.4 polo for the last 12years now and currently giving her a full restoration and prep after a 7 year hibernation in a damp garage due to a faulty gear box.

My clutch pedal has developed a two tone stiffness and lifting off at a traffic light is tricky! I saw this on the common faults section:

Same fault as Caddy's etc. Clutch goes stiff, doesn't get changed in time, puts strain on Cable and twists/breaks/cracks pedal box mounting bracket that's bolted to the bulkhead. :x

Ask any GSF Van driver :wink: I spoke to my local main dealer about the price of the bracket - not bad only £25 or so. BUT is a PITA of a job :shock:
Would that be the cause of the issue? Where is this pedal box located and what exactly should be replaced?

Thanks
Adrien
