Its been a while since i visited forum…honestly been very busy and no significant issues with car. 
So..here we go. Lately, car has developed some unusual noises when operating clutch pedal. 2.0 tdi, manual, 4x4 , 2019. 82 k kms. Out of warranty. 
First time i noticed it while slowing to a halt in 1st gear…as i pressed clutch..some grind-ish noise (as an example..like two cogs spinning together and sudenly theyre separated from each other and separation isnt smooth)  can be briefly heard. I would say happens 90% percent of the time.  Also happens when changing gears up (1~>2~>3, 1st to 2nd can be little notchy, esoecialy when engine and gearbox are cold). Same thing audible when beeing stationary, select neutral and if i release clutch pedal just tiny bit quicker.  Between 1.5k to 2k rpms faint buzzing noise from engine bay (i would say gearbox area) which dissapears when over 2k rpms. When changing down and trying to be smooth with clutch theres a bit of jolt. Like there are two stages of biting.  
The only way to avoid this iis to be  slow with changing gears. Creating delay between gears on purpose kinda stops it. Or go above 2.5 rpms when changing gears.

When driving longer distances and everthing is at optimal working temperature is somewhat better but not completey gone.  
Bitting point isn’t high, no significant difference in noise when beeing stationary in neutral and press and depress clutch. Pedal itself operates normally, isnt as soft when car was new but quite easy to operate.  
Car seems tu run just fine, didnt notice clutch slip, no shaking (as DMF can cause it) or rumbling noises. Anybody has similar issue and how was it resolved?. 
Sorry for the lenghty post..trying to explain it as much precisely as i can.

I'd suspect a master or slave cylinder issue.  It might be worth having the fluid changed and see if there's any debris in it.
