Default Clutch pedal adjustment question

Hey Guys,

I just got my 2000 New Beetle this weekend and I love it, runs great, great fuel economy, and just a blast to drive, my only thing is the clutch does seem to engage till you are almost completely off the clutch and I like my clutches to engage about halfway or lower.

Is there anyway to adjust this? I know its a hydraulic clutch and all and from just doing some like searching on google, I might need to add fluid and bleed the system as well. I was just wondering if anyone else had any suggestion?

Thanks
Grantsbeetle

My suggestion is to bleed the clutch.

There is no adjustment.
