    Does it do it with the engine off?  Probably just needs a bit of lube on the pedal pivot.

    Ok, it won't be the pedal if it doesn't do it with the engine off.

    Which engine do you have?  If it's a diesel, it's likely to be a boost or EGR leak.

    The EGR blank gasket may be leaking a bit.  The main area on the 1.8TDCi for boost leaks is the solid metal boost pipe, it often cracks at the bracket.
