Wondered if anybody could offer any advice.

I own a Peugeot 108 Allure 1.2 2018. It's got 14k miles on the clock so barely anything. My previous car I did 50k in 3 years and had no issues with the clutch.

I've noticed it feels sticky around the biting point. It feels this way with the engine off too. It makes moving off with the clutch a little more juddery. I've noticed no other clutch related issues.

I'm a bit annoyed if it's a sign the clutch is going as I'd expect to get a fair bit more than 14k miles out of it.

I was under the impression nowhere will touch a clutch in regards to warranty as it's considered a 'ware' item.

What you describe does not sound wear related.

Nothing to lose by asking them!

Could be an issue with the actuation mechanism (hydraulic or cable as applicable), release bearing, pedal box etc etc. Has to be worth investigating.

It's a 2 year old car with only 14k....of course you should be asking about warranty

Thanks.

I've contacted Peugeot to see if I can get it looked at under warranty.

The stickyness is almost creaking. It definitely feels weird.
