Hi All. Recently brought a fr Ibiza 16 tdi for our daughter it’s covered approx 48,000
Noticed now the clutch seems very stiff compared to our other cars
Just asking if this is normal prob because a heavy duty clutch
But we have a Citroen c3 16 hdi simalar milage that seems ok
Or is it because it’s the FR version?
Thanks

We have a 2014 model. The clutch is heavy and 1st gear has a slightly higher ratio than ideal for smooth town driving. Definitely weak point of the car. Petrol manuals I've had as courtesy cars prove far nicer to drive due to a lighter clutch and sweeter drive train. I find the cr tdi engine sounds far rougher than in other VAG cars too.
