clutch pedal stiff

Post by JLM_6N2 »

Hey guys womderinh if you could shed some light on a subject for me

Started driving my car today after 3 months of it being off road, and my clutch pedal seems to be rediculously stiff, putting it down and releasing it is too difficult to describe.

I was just wondering what you guys think this is ?
Could It be a clutch cable or am I looking at something else ?

Thanks
John

Check hydraulic fluid levels? Not quite sure how the system works on the polo but on my Porka a stiff clutch pedal often means a faulty Clutch master cylinder or slave
