Stoney871 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 All the Focus I've driven, Mk1, Mk2, 2.5 have all been high. If you have no slip and the car is pulling ok then I really don't think you have anything to worry about. Stripping down to check the clutch plates will cost 2/3 the price of a clutch change so if you did strip down, the wise thing would be to have the clutch changed even if not needed to minimise costs later.

artscot79 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 have to agree with the above my mk1 and mk2 have been high escorts high old vw passat was high thats normal with hydraulic clutches even brand new clutches dont have low bite points like old cars had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jg321 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Pretty high on my mk 2.5, just shy of 30,000 miles. Has been since the day I got it! Feels fine otherwise though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnH Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 only time to start worrying if there is a thud or some other rattle/screeching noise that only occurs/disappears when the clutch pedal is pressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
