Clutch biting really high

Post by pepdavies »

Hi, I just bought a 2.0 Coupe last night and really like it but I find the clutch bites really high compared to other cars I've owned. Is this normal for these cars or should I look into replacing the clutch? Cheers

I have a 406 and a C5, they both bite near the top of the travel. It was suggested that the clutch was on the way out when I bought the 406, I have done over 50k miles in it and its still fine. Coming up 240k now and clutch and DMF still original.
