My 16v Scirocco Clutch peddle is a beast to push down.  Anyone whom I
have allowed to drive my car is amazed at the pressure necessary to
clutch it.  In fact after driving the Scirocco daily for more than I
week I have to switch to one of my more gentle clutch peddle cars, as
I develop "clutch knee".  Seriously.  I think some of it is the angle
of the seating.  In the Jetta I am more above the peddles. The Audi is
Hydraulic (I hate Hydraulic) so thats like pressing air.  It is a self
adjusting cable, which I will be replacing very soon.

My observation.
