Clutch release arm spring

[R_U_AFA]

I have noticed on some felicia's that there is a spring attatched to the top of the clutch release arm. Skoda describe it as a tension spring.

My felicia seems to be missing this spring.

Is it a critical part? And why do some models have it, and others not?

P.S I have noticed that there are two types of release arm.

Same here. Do you have a photo of a Felicia clutch lever having that spring?

No photo, but it can be seen in the haynes manual in chapter 3, picture 4.4b on a 1.3Mpi engine and picture 6.8a on a 1.6 engine

It can also be seen in chapter 5B in pictures 6.12a - 6.12c.

Reference is also made to removing it in chapter 6.

I think it can only fitted to the longer lenght leavers.

I think you might know it already but the spring, part number is 6U0141755

I will see if a can find a photo from a car for sale ad with a spring.

It can be seen in the photos of this funs engine compartment  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Skoda-fun-pickup-1-6-petrol-1999/182705811696?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D45731%26meid%3D1b843b19ebb64b7ead3afc80fc1970ff%26pid%3D100623%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D122537226500&_trksid=p2047675.c100623.m-1

Well... I don't own one. Not that I'd need it. That spring's function is mysterious indeed.
