This is quite a common problem on VWs and is normally caused by the clutch master cylinder seizing up slowly over time.

In the end the the clutch pedal breaks where the push rod fits and you loose any clutch control.

If this has happened check to see if the push rod has been bent, if it has then you need to fit a new master cylinder and fit a new pedal or re weld the old one.

This isn't too difficult to do as the whole job can be done from inside the car and under the bonnet with very few tools by a competent DIY mechanic.

91 escort pony the clutch and ignition suddenly are not working Any ideas Thanks?

There is a switch on the clutch that won't let the car start unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed. You can turn the key but the starter won't engage. Something stuck under the clutch pedal (matt, etc...) will do it or if someone kicked the switch or possibly the switch has died. You could use a jumper wire to bypass the switch if you had to or just replace the switch.
