My '06 MKV has all of a sudden started playing up. It basically happened after accelerating from a stationary start where I had a slight loss of traction through the front wheels. Was 100% perfect the moment before and then not quite right immediately after.
The symptoms are as follows:
1. Cruise control no longer works
2. After pushing in the clutch to change gears, the revs actually jump higher before dropping in the lower gear. The faster I accelerate and the higher the revs, the more they jump/increase (jump 500 rpm + at times)
3. Now have jolty, rough gears changes. Pressing the clutch in makes the car jolt. This happens even at really low speeds and is actually more pronounced in gears 1 & 2.
4. Through the rev range, the power delivering is not as smooth and car hesitates at times. The best way to describe this is it 'surges' a little.
5. Issue (2) above, more often than not DOES NOT happen when taking off from a standing start ie. first gear. Taking off from a set of traffic lights usually seems to avoid the rev hang issue in all gears until I reach a cruising state or then start lowering gears/slowing down etc. where the issue will then return. Jolty, rough gear changes and 'surge' still exists though.
What I've done:
1. I've had the clutch switch replaced which had no impact whatsoever.
2. 60k km service and timing belt change (performed by Seb)
I did manage to find this thread on vwvortex which sounds awfully similar but unfortunately I have been unable to track down how it was resolved in the end and it seems the member is no longer active.
VWVortex.com - Rev hang??
Does anyone have any thoughts about this?
Thanks in advance!
