I find that the clutch pedal on my 2003 1.4 8v lx is quite heavy compare to other vehicles i have owned.
Is this normal or is there an issue with say the clutch cable?

I wonder if its the clutch/thrust bearing about to go. I had the same hard feeling in my old 206, the clutch was replaced after the thrust bearing went then after that the clutch pedal was so soft I was nearly stalling because I wasnt used to it!

well "we" have owned the 206 for over a year..the missus was using it but then we had a shake up of cars and i ended up with it.
it was in our possesion when the clutch was changed but as i did not drive it daily i cannot comment on if the pedal was heavier or lighter after the change.
Now its my daily and when i hit traffic i now notice how heavy it is.

Mine was quite heavy, could just be wear. I've just had mine replaced as it was knackered, now its light as a feather.

Mine is heavy in the gti. Any simple/cost effective ways of improving it slightly?
