I could be wrong, but I think the 'biting point' can be adjusted to suit your taste?

I could be wrong though.

It depends on how close to the floor we're talking, if its biting when you barely lift your foot off the floor then something isn't right.

I thought VAG's had the same biting point regardless of how new the clutch is?

Open to correction.

My Skoda Octavia MK1 has a looooooooong clutch it's like a tractor after being in a different newer car

The old clutch was going I think from the time I bought the car was very high about 6/8 inches from the floor the new one is probably half that - I can drive off fine with no accelerator and no shudder

If you have no difficulty selecting gear and no shudder, then it sounds fine.
