That was what I was quoted without much detail but I hope it is more than the cylinder. I have asked my Skoda dealership for a quote but they won't go further than the £120 for a diagnostic assessment. It is a waste of money just to tell me that they diagnose a clutch problem! Then they would do a quote. I insisted on a quote and the chap asked me to contact his service department for labour costs and then to contact his parts department for a quote for parts too. Eventually he succumbed reluctantly to ask his colleagues in these departments for a quote on my behalf. He came back with nothing! Left me a voicemail to ask me if I wanted a quote just for the main cylinder or the slave cylinder. There is no transparency with this garage. You basically are handing over an open cheque book. He couldn't even think about just giving me worst and best case scenario to fix the sticking pedal.

It seems to me that there is a known problem with the clutch pedal sticking. My car is a 65 reg and it has been doing this intermittent problem for a while. However, after some time, it stopped and now, it has started again but it is worse than ever. It is no longer a joy driving my vehicle. I have been quoted £1200 to replace the cylinders!! I wonder how many accidents have been caused by this issue by people finding that they are stuck in a particular gear because their clutch pedal is stuck down to the floor and won't pop back up? Any ideas if Skoda have done a recall anyone?
