Clutch pedal position switch

good to know that DSG is good for something then, other than the sexy downshift farts of course! .. hehe

thanks for all the replies guys, but i'm certain on doing this. Always owned manual cars, very used to checking car isn't in gear. By the sounds of it no-one has done this personally, so can anyone point me in the right direction or should i try posting this up in the mkVI forum?

I'd go the Briskoda.

Thought i would post a follow up for anyone who may be interested. I pulled the footwell apart again this evening and confirmed there aren't any switches attached to either the clutch or brake pedals of the RS. Did a bit more digging online and finally found someone saying that the newer models (didn't specify years, but i'm assuming mk VI golf and FL octy) don't have switches, but instead have proximity sensors located in the master cylinders that read the travel of the shafts in the cylinders.
I'm under the assumption that the single sensor in the clutch cylinder controls both the cruise and start interlock, but as it's buried in behind the firewall with the master cylinder it's too much trouble to get to.
I'm thinking that the only way to bypass the clutch to start is if the facility exists within the VAG-COM software.

So unless your bike is about 20 years old you have to pull the clutch in to start it surely?

Spot on! I need to have the clutch in (2002 Triumph Daytona) although I still start in neutral and let the clutch out and in before grabbing 1st...
