Hi,

Looking for some advice regarding a problem with the clutch pedal on my 2020 Skoda Karoq, 2 litre diesel, manual gearbox.

It has only done 21000 miles from new and I tow a 1200kg caravan from time to time. This last week the clutch pedal has stuck in the down position a few times but rising about 2 inches from the floor. On lifting the pedal it rises freely and seems to work fine for a mile or two and then sticks down once again.

No sign of any fluid leaks and there only appears to be one master cylinder which I always thought was for the brakes and which in any case is at the full mark.

I have booked the car into the local Skoda dealer as I am 75 years old and sadly now unable to do my own repairs, although I have replaced master and slave cylinders on other makes in the past.

I would be interested to hear if this is a known problem with the Karoq and if anyone has had similar, the solution and the likely cost of repair.

Hello, welcome to the forum.

The clutch pedal fault is fairly common and is not specific to the Karoq. The issue is caused by a faulty master or slave cylinder.

The single master cylinder reservoir serves both brake and clutch cylinders, with the clutch feed take-off being higher up the cylinder.

Depending on whether your slave cylinder is a concentric one, it appears to be recommended to replace the master cylinder first.

Thanks for the swift reply. Car goes in on Thursday so should know then what is happening.

Just an update on my recent post regarding the sticking clutch pedal.

The Skoda dealership found the clutch master cylinder to be leaking slightly and replaced it. I had also requested they service the air conditioning and on collecting the car was presented with a bill of £797.36.

I drove out of the garage and 50 yards up the road, the clutch pedal stuck down again. I drove round the block, the pedal sticking twice and back into the garage where I left it with them to sort out.

I picked the car up a few days later after the clutch slave cylinder had been replaced. Presented with a bill for £1299.00 a total of £2096.37

Not at all happy at the cost, but at least glad to have the car back after nearly 4 weeks without it.
