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!

Clutch and bearing have been recently (~2000miles ago) replaced

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.

Shut it u stupid little f**k, what's the point in posting in all my treads being such a c***? Least I can afford a gti180, and to get the cam belt done!

So apparently everyone knows my financial situation? If I wanted a 180 I would have bought a 180 simples Smile

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?
