Seat Leon Clutch/Sensitive Throttle
Discussion
Inherited a low mileage 1.6 mk2 Leon 2007 Leon off my mother , it had 25K on it and she owned from new, did short journeys and lived on a steep hill (if this matters) and she did say the clutch felt odd.
When I started driving it , it had a bit of clutch judder and the biting point seemed high. I was a bit surprised as it was such a low mileage car, but it had been left standing at times and mainly -2 mile journeys
I've put a fair few miles on in a few months it, I can't work out if the clutch is knackered or the throttle is uber uber sensitive. For example with biteing point I only need to put minimal minimal pressure on the throttle and the clutch up high. On the other hand if I was doing 50mph on a flat road, I would only need to put minimal pressure (just kiss ) on the throttle to keep the speed up . The throttle response is quite "lively " for a small engineered car, which seems to aide the "sporting" (for a family s
tbox) drive
The clutch judder has gone and with very very minimal throttle pressure the clutch seems ok? The throttle pedal is more like an on or off switch, like so many modern cars.
Anyone else have experience of this? Or am I just thick? I have always found modern VW cars over sensitive/servo'd and this is my first drive by wire manual car.
