Morning gents,
I've got an 1987 90 with a 200TDI engine. Just had new clutch put in and the bite point is right at the top of pedal. Pedal height is correct at 140mm. Where should bite point be for new clutch?

Thanks
Steve

If I remember correctly it's not adjustable although as you know the master cylinder is adjustable.
Does it all work OK, not slipping or anything, quality parts used?

Normally bite point at the top means the clutch is shagged, did they change it?

New to you clutches always feel weird for a while.
