Default Squeeky pedal

The mk6 RS2K's clutch pedal squeeks very loudly

Simple fix or new cable/quadrant?

Ok mate will give it a go

Question number two.. the coolant is brown looks rust flavoured Is this basically because the coolant hasn't been changed in yonks or is the rad rusting inside out (going to change the coolant on the weekend)

When you flush do you mean buy a liquid 'flush' or stick a hose pipe in the header with the bottom rad hose off for ten minutes
