    Any tips on adjusting the clutch?

    Hey Guys,

    I want to adjust the clutch on my '03 Polo as the grab point is a bit high off the floor. Any tips or tricks to doing this? Where is it located and what's the easiest way to get to it?

    I remember reading some where that the car has an automatic clutch adjustment, I assume the clutch pedal height is an independedt adjustment?

    Cheers, Lomo

    It's got the 1.4L petrol with the car having about 45,000kms on the odo.

    Yeah I'd like the clutch to grab a bit lower to the floor to make shifts easier.

    If there's no adjustment on the hydraulic system maybe the pedal is adjustable in some way (even if by brute force )?

    BTW How many kms can you expect out of these clutches?

    non adjustable im afraid. The clutch also depends on the driver or the previous one. In general i would expect around 90ks out if it..
