GT220 Megane heavy clutch

  1. Wonder if any Megane drivers can help.

    We’ve got a 2015, GT220 Megane, last of the old shape and a great car with the RS engine. Not many of these around so hard to get an answer.

    The car has the RS engine retuned to 220 bhp as well as some of the running bits. Superb bit of kit and out drives the Golf GTI it replaced in so many ways.

    However the clutch pedal is very heavy, especially compared to the Golf and previous 1.6 Megane we had. Dealer and clutch specialist say it is fine.

    I’m guessing the RS has a heavy clutch then as standard or is ours sticking?
    I wondered if I could replace the clutch pedal unit to one with a lighter pedal, like the 1.6, or is it not possible due to master cyclinder/clutch size etc?

    Any RS owners offer any advice?
     
  2. this will be dictated by the clutch spring and pressure needed to engage and disengage your clutch disc.

    I never driven one so i am not sure, but Mine being a Mk2 GT clutch is quite heavy compared to our Espace for example.
    I am sure someone will confirm
     
  3. I don't find it particularly heavy to be honest. It depends what you are used to i guess.
