Hi all

My mrs has a 2010 1.6 TDI Ibiza with a couple of issues I'd like to sort. Its got 101k on it and otherwise drives fine.

The first is a clunk noise that sounds like its coming from inside the cabin - when the engine starts or when you back off in 1st or 2nd. It sounds a bit like its coming from the center console or behind the steering wheel. I'm assuming this is an engine mount and something is knocking into the firewall, is there any prime culrpit for this? Or a way to figure out which mount it is? I'm guessing the gearbox torque "dogbone" mount is most likely?

Secondly, the other day the clutch pedal stuck down when she went to change gear. She managed to pop it back up and it's been fine since although the pedal action isnt very smooth. Would it be worth changing the clutch master cylinder at this point or wait and see if it gets worse? Is that a reasonably easy job or a common issue on these?

Thanks for any pointers!
