Clutch Bite Point...
Discussion
It's hydraulic, therefore self-adjusting.
I don't think the pushrod from the slave cylinder to the clutch actuating fork is adjustable on the T5 gearbox, so I suspect that unless it's a hydraulic problem, you'll need a new clutch.
However, just because the fluid level is ok doesn't mean that the hydraulics are working correctly. You could have got some air into the system, in which case bleeding would help, and/or the seals on the master/slave cylinders might be dodgy.
I've known seals which are good enough to stop the fluid leaking in large enough quantities to be noticeable, yet which allow a tiny amount of air to be drawn past on the return, so causing actuation point as described.
Check for the slightest sign of dampness/leakage at the slave and master cylinder and bleed fresh fluid in to the system before deciding to renew the clutch.
