Squeaky clutch pedal and high clutch bite point

[mark.r.cullen]

I drove the beast home today. Here's some symptoms:

- Clutch bite point is basically at the top of the pedal
- Clutch pedal is squeaky, bit stiff perhaps
- Clutch pedal is still above brake pedal
- Pressing, holding and then suddely releasing the brake pedal causes a tiny increase is revs. Very tiny, but just about audible.

Have tried adjusting the clutch cable both ways and it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Symptoms of a worn clutch, faulty pedal box or possibly both?

edit - Okay, just had a go at that adjustment again and undone it all the way out. The pedal feels much lighter now, and doesn't seem to be squeaking. The bite is still high though. When adjusting this, there's a locking nut, a nut, a large black grippy thing, the spring, then another large black grippy thing sitting on the clutch lever. We just undid the two nuts until the spring was basically fully unsprung. Is this correct for adjusting it? Or is the second black grippy thing supposed to move? If the second black grippy thing is supposed to move, that would be our problem I think!

Apologies for my poor descriptive skills

The squeak is back the pedal is still higher than the brake pedal, so I am not sure if it is the pedal box. Maybe just the clutch cable / clutch needs changing and that will sort it....

This won't help much, but I've heard it's common for the older Ibiza's to have mad clutch problems... Like high bite points etc..

Mine squeaked and was very heavy before I had the new clutch fitted - it was light as a feather after, I nearly put my foot through the floor when I went to drive away!

How many miles has it done, and do you know how it has been driven?

Haha.

It's currently on a whopping 125k miles (Engine still seems good!). I have absolutely no idea at all how it had been previously driven though.

Am looking in to getting the clutch and cable replaced. Father might know someone who can do it at mates rates
