I have a polo 2005 1.1 the biting point is when the pedal is on the floor any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks

It's not adjustable as it's a hydraulic clutch

You clutch is likely worn

Hi Scott, Alex,

I've just bought a 9N 53 plate 1.4 BBY and the body work and interior are in great nick (after a full valet) and I am looking at addressing any issues early before they become biggies.

If I understand the Haynes manual, the 9N uses hydraulics to work the clutch. So if I have about an inch of clutch bite on the pedal's travel and some over-revving, specially 1st and 2nd when cold starting, I should look at replacing the clutch?

If so, is there a huge difference in clutches? Looking at Euro parts, there is some brands going for £80 and then top of the range Luk for £220+.

Thanks,

Colin

Correct, the clutch bite isnt adjustable so yes, its probably time to start looking at a replacement clutch

Theres alot of difference in the quality of a clutch. Sachs, valeo, LUK, or genuine really would be my choices. GSF are doing 25% off most weekends now (and theyve just lowered all their prices massively) which makes them alot cheaper than euro. Ill post the code up on here on friday when they send if if that helps?

Thanks Alex, I'd appreciate that!

Whats your Reg? Ill dig out the best choice ready for you.

AJ fifty three OPX

OFF25 is the code

It’s valid all this week

The premium top option should be ok. Call your local branch though and have them check then order it yourself online

Thanks, busy shopping for the clutch and a few extras!
