Hi Guys
Can any of you tell me if my D9 X-reg 110 clutch, is hydraulic or a cable?
Just that ive noticed on the odd ocassion,the clutch doesnt always come back to the top when my foot is taken off it, this causes it to sound like im reving the engine and not going anywhere.( if u know wot i mean)
Any help much appreciated.

Hydraulic. I've tried searching because I'm sure there's an assist spring that screws up but I can't find owt

It's hydraulic with a DMF( Dual Mass Flywheel). If the pedal is not coming back up check nothing is fouling the slave cyl,(top front of gearbox). Also check it's not something fouling the pedal. Is it making any noises?

As far as I know that was on some D8's( number 5 in this picture)

I cant hear any strange noises, only noticed this cos my clutch bites near the top, was only replaced last year by previous owner.
Thanks for all your help.

On the D8, if you detach the master cylinder from the pedal, the spring becomes very noticeable and either pins the pedal to its usual resting position, or when you push it past half way, to the floor.
Is the D9 setup the same, because this new car's got a very vague, spongy feeling to the pedal...
The lack of servicebox is killing me
