Hi all, I have an issue with the clutch pedal on my t5.1 which I was hoping maybe someone else has experienced and rectified. The van is a 2011 model with the caac engine and 125k miles.
The issue is the clutch pedal decided to start sticking down and rising back slowly then popping up for the last bit. The pedal feels slack until it reaches the bottom and seems to operate as normal. While investigating the cause I sprayed some plastic lubricant up into the return spring in case that was sticking. However before that the pedal returned to its normal feel by repeated pressing. The pedal then returned to normal driving for the rest of the day around 15 miles. However, the same thing happened today with the pedal sticking during a 12 mile journey out and returned to normal again for the return journey.
I have checked the fluid level (combined with brake fluid?) and level is up to the top so doesn’t look like there are any leaks.
Is it likely a problem with the pedal mounting assembly? I am happy to take it to a garage to investigate but would like to have eliminated any likely minor causes first and besides it is more difficult to investigate while it’s not doing it all the time.
I’m fairly new to t5 ownership so any advice gratefully received. I’ve googled the problem but haven’t found the same issue with a resolve. Thanks.
