My 1 month old High Up is now having its clutch switch and clutch main cylinder replaced
by our VW dealer due to the annoying clutch clicking noise.
Just a word of advice for others with a similar problem.
There appears to be 2 types of clutch click.
a) a small click when you change gear that appears to come from the engine area.
This is what VW call normal behaviour and they won't currently do anything about it
(although our dealer said that if enough people complain they might). You don't really
feel this click through the pedal.
b) an annoying click from the pedal area that you feel when you depress or sometimes raise the clutch.
This is what we have as well & finally the dealer is taking seriously and starting to replace
bits.
It is important to clearly distinguish between the two otherwise the dealer will just
fob you off with an issue a) response. Our dealer did the same but after 2 days of
them saying it was issue a) and I should come and fetch the car, I got their master
technician to test drive it with me and he eventually agreed it was issue b).
Hopefully 'replacing bits' will solve the problem. I'll let you know next week.
