I recently bought a 2017 Cupra 300, I like the car but one thing I found is that the clutch biting point seems very high? On mine it feels like it doesn't bite at all until about 75-80% up. I know it varies by car but it seems quite extreme so I am just wondering if this is normal? The car only has 20k miles so I would hope the clutch isn't knackered.
I just assumed that's how it is however a few days ago (less than 2 weeks after buying it) when I went to leave work I found that although the car turned on normally and all seemed fine, after putting down the clutch I was unable to put the car into gear. Roadside assistance came the next day (I live nearby so just got a lift) at which point the issue had fixed itself, however they took it back anyway to look at it.
The AA guy who came said it's likely due to driving through water (I had gone through quite a deep puddle that day) and it was just the clutch "sticking" which sounds possible but still presumably not normal. It's probably nothing serious, but with a car I'd just bought it doesn't fill you with confidence.
But anyway, just wondering if other owners have any input on the situation? Thanks.
