Hey All! hope everyone is doing ok.

 

Seem to have an issue with my new (To Me) 2013 Fabia 1.6TDI Monte Carlo relating to the clutch pedal.

 

In the last week the pedal has been not always returning back to the original location sitting flush with the other pedals. 

This happens once out of 20 times of using the clutch. To fix it you just pull the pedal back and you are all ok again. (if you do not pull it back then eventually it will just sit flush with the floor but once again you can pull the pedal back to the original position and everything works as normal again for about 20 gear changes)

 

To me it seems like what ever normally pushes the pedal back to the original position is getting stuck such as the clutch cables and needs a little help occasionally. The clutch itself feels normal and have had no issues changing gear or any sounds. 

 

Before it take this to get professionally looked at, is there anything I can do to look around and maybe something just needs to be cleaned out and greased (wish full thinking).

 

Thanks in advance.

It's a hydraulic clutch so you could try bleeding it, and cleaning the pedal pivot. I've a nasty feeling that the slave cylinder may be starting to give up though.
