rev hanging / ?clutch pedal switch

Featured Replies

Recently i have noticed the revs slow to go down when i depress the clutch. It is increasingly annoying trying to make quick gear changes. the clutch isn't slipping.

 

Is this likely to be a dying clutch pedal switch or something else?

 

if it is the clutch pedal switch does anyone have a code number for a 2016 petrol 220 tfsi?

 

thanks

Do you mean that when you step off the throttle when changing gear that the revs are slow (or slower than before) to die down? That will be a function of the emissions control system.

 

Otherwise it sounds like you are trying to do full throttle gearchanges :o

 

The clutch pedal switch is built into and comes as part of the master cylinder, it can however be removed from the cylinder by releasing a clip like on the wiring connectors, you would need to remove the cylinder to do this anyway.

 

Fast gearchanges are not possible on these vehicles, the clutch torque limiter engages the clutch slowly even if you do release the pedal quickly, the revs will not rise until the clutch pedal is sensed to have returned fully, if the latter happens before the former you get clutch slip, that is VAG's way of limiting the torque :D
