Clutch pedal sticking *solved*
LorettawastY:
Hi all,
Since installing an R154 conversion, the clutch release point is right at the top of the pedal stroke and makes for difficult driving.
I know you can adjust the rod from the back of the master cylinder, but can anybody guide me as to which way to turn the rod and how to set the pedal stop?
TIA

I’ve got this problem with mine - 113,000 miles, AXX engine - can’t remember which gearbox code off hand... itms overdue a brake bleed, so will bleed the clutch too while I’m there (having seen few helpful threads re the need to brim the brake fluid reservoir as the clutch filler is above the max line....). Not holding out much hope - as too simple a fix! So may go down this route too, and will report back.

Just done this on my sons mk5. Result, nice one.
I had read it before and only when he mentioned it did I show him the post. He read it and was all giddy, yes that is it mine does that. :jumpmove:
When he was under there he noticed the intercooler pipe had come off and found a plastic cap that needed screwing back in probably causing the oil leak. Triple result.
My son has not been doing so well lately, bit of stress due to work etc and has been a bit lacking in the maintenance dept and has been fed up with his Golf (and everything else really) so this has been a nice cheap fix.

Good to hear - trying to get through some diy jobs this morning/afternoon inside - then going to have a bash at this myself!
Hope things get better for your son - get him a remap to put a real smile on his face!

Mine’s fixed too!
OP - thank you SO much for posting this, you total legend. Car is now drivable - and avoided unnecessary time and cost chasing slave cylinder issues etc.
