VW Golf Mk7 - Golf Mk7 Clutch delay valve - Dennis Earl

Has anyone taken out the small yellow valve in the clutch bleeder block on a Golf Mk7? Is it an easy thing to do, even for a very amateur person? Is there a large benefit in doing this to the feel of the clutch afterwards? Any experience gratefully received.

I'm unfamiliar with this particular vehicle but clutch line restrictors (delay valves) are fitted to ensure smooth clutch engagement. It helps prolong drivetrain life, especially in the hands of inexperienced or harsh drivers. I would imagine if you know how to bleed a clutch, and have the required tools, then you could take it out.
