My Passat 132TSI is over 8 years old and has done 70K.I am getting a slight shudder on the accelerator while moving off from rest. The fuel consumption gauge hits its max value of 20L/100 km while moving off and slowly it drops to sensible range after doing about 10KM plus but still seems to hover around...

Morning all,
I've just picked up a T5 4motion with a BNZ and 6 speed manual transmission. It's making a nasty grinding noise when coasting. It's most noticeable driving in 5th or 6th gear when you release the accelerator the noise starts but goes away if you accelerate or push the clutch in....

I'm new to the watercooled VW world, I bought a 2014 multivan and own a few aircooled vw's from kombis to beetles and a karmann ghia.
Joined to see the other side of the VW arena and get information on how to mod my van and keep it on the road, hopefully not driving like a wallowing armchair with...

Hi all,

Hoping someone in here can shed some light on something I experienced this morning:

Upon gassing it, before the car could properly embrace the weight of my foot, I suddenly released the accelerator (as someone pulled out in front of me) and it was the equivalent of...

My break Pedal is not exactly the same distance from the front floor as the Accelerator

It feels about 2 inches further forward than the Accelerator

This means that I cannot pivot my right foot (on the heel) from the Accelerator to the Brake

I feel I have to lift...

Hi guys.
Has anyone else had any issues with idle and start up t4 2.5 petrol transporter.
Blows black smoke upon start up indicating its flooding. It idles at 400 rpm but usually dies when driving once you take your foot off the accelerator.

I’ve had it to many mechanics...

Hi, recently started to hear a clicking noise upon acceleration.
I can hear it in Park when I press the accelerator and can hear it in drive.
It’s harder to hear when driving but I’m pretty sure it’s clicking. Only when accelerator is pressed
Anyone heard of this or had the...

I think my car has developed an AWD/DSG failure.

I tried to take off from stationary enthusiastically and the front wheels kept hopping and not able to put power down. The 1st to 2nd gear was also very slow (like manual gear box shifting) with a big loss of acceleration (my body...

2011 TSI GOLF requiring Accelerator peddle assembly as per title.

cheers,

G'day all. My Mk6 has a quirk as follows: When taking off from a standing start, if the brake pedal is feathered just as the accelerator pedal is engaged, then because the brake is still on, the accelerator does not respond and it feels like the car is in neutral (albeit it is still in Drive). It doesn't...

Hi,

The pedal rubbers are a bit tatty and the accelerator one has in fact fallen off so was wondering where i can get some replacements?

I've googled a bit and some say that replacement TT ones fit if i get RHD brake and accelerator and then a LHD accelerator?? Sounds like...

I have been having some random problems lately:

• 1 in 50 starts the car cranks for about 2 seconds longer than usual before the car starts.
• Driving at low speeds and changing out of gear into neutral, the engine will start to stumble and then shut off. During the stumbling, I can presss

Hello all,

New to the forum from Toronto, Canada. I just recently picked up a '14 Jetta TSI... love this little beast specially when you can feel that kick after pressing on the accelerator. I look fwd to gaining knowledge from the wisdom of other members!

Hey guys,

Noticed one slight difference between my Golf R and the Polo's stop start system... the R can be set to start hen touching the accelerator pedal, or foot removed from brake (if in acc mode). The Polo however seems to auto start whenever the foot is taken off the brake. Is there...

Hi guys

Hope to get some help. I have a 2013 Tiguan, which has mostly been a pleasant experience HOWEVER!

I was driving and the accelerator did not engage for 5 secs. I was driving at 50 kms/hr & my foot was DEFINATELY NOT on the brake. After the 5 secs, the accelerator...
