The clutch on my 59 plate 1.6 TDi Golf judders when pulling away. It seems to be worse when it's cold, or after lots of stop/start activity in traffic. If you're careful with the revs and ease the clutch out slowly, it's fine, but if you try to pull away fairly quickly with more revs it's worse. It's the same with a hill start, although that revs related too I guess. There's no clutch slip at all. The pedal also seems quite stiff. I drove an Audi A3 2.0 TDi last week and the clutch was much lighter, and it's the same with my mum's 2.0 TDi Skoda Yeti. Is this a sign that the clutch is on the way out? I plan to sell the car later this year, so I don't want to lash out circa. £800 for a new clutch and DMF unless I have to!

Thanks for the replies. It's on 98k miles, so the clutch must be fairly well worn, although it's done mainly motorway miles since 53k. I'm just hoping it'll hold out for another 6k miles or so.
