C5 Clutch Pedal

Post by reblack68 »

2001 1.8LX with BE4 gearbox.

I got my C5 cheap because it was needing a new gear cable. The previous owner said it had been hard to get into gear for a while, although it seemed fine to me once I'd changed the cable.

Last weekend (just as I was about to go on a long journey of course) I saw what he meant, the clutch pedal lost most of its travel. It was just about bearable so I went on the trip as planned. On the road back it became intolerable and I decides to have a look and see if anything could be done. I lifted the clutch pedal to see if there was any kind of adjustment, then discovered it stayed where I'd lifted it to. I tried driving again and the clutch was working just as it should and has continued to do so.

I was just wondering what has happened there and if I should worry about it?
