Stan 24v 0 Posted October 10, 2006 Right, since I had the engine done (I think anyway) Ive always had a sharpish jerk from the car when I take my foot of the accelerator. Its like taking your foot off really quickly, and the car jerks, just once, but in all gears, and no matter what revs, or if being driven hard or slow. I cant think of another way to describe it :? Double-6s had a go and felt it (oo er) and I also asked H100 VW and he reckons it sounds like the fuel is being cut off when I take my foot off, and then back on straight away. Does this sound right? Any help appreciated guys ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted October 10, 2006 mine never did that, nor does my 4motion, which is also DBW. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted October 10, 2006 I know it shouldnt mate, thats why Im trying to sort it. Its the same engine as yours. Any ideas what could cause it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted October 10, 2006 Oh yeah, its not a massive jerk, but it does make you move forward like a sharpish gear change. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted October 10, 2006 Hmmm - I know with DBW the revs just drop as soon as you go on the brake or clutch pedal - I wonder if that switch is loose or faulty - also may depend on how it's been installed... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted October 10, 2006 What do you mean "installed" mate? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted October 10, 2006 Also, if I put my foot on the clutch first, ie on approaching a junction, then it doesnt do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted October 10, 2006 do you have a clutch switch wired in? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted October 10, 2006 Dont know, how can I tell? He used all the electrics from the Golf, as far as im aware. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted October 10, 2006 have a look at the pedal box. just look directly above the clutch pedal, for a switch. simple as that really! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted October 10, 2006 I mean installed as in did he use the full mk4 pedal box and switch's etc... Mine is a bodge of the orignals but everything welded in and working... only issue I have is the clutch is very heavy as the original Corrado MC and pedal are being used Phat - I have a spare MK4 clutch pedal from when we fixed Jim's car and i've welded it up so it won't break again but will this fit the Corrado / mk2 pedal box do you know? (Reason I want to do this is so I can use the plastic mk4 MC - have you done this?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted October 10, 2006 Phat Clutch pedal, or accelerator??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted October 10, 2006 Supercharged Corrado Clutch, Golf accelerator. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted October 10, 2006 Heavy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted October 10, 2006 Not too bad mate, replaced Master, and slave, and also changed gearbox oil when doing the work, a lot bloody lighter than it used to be!! Cant compare to a Golf though, never driven one ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted October 10, 2006 Phat Clutch pedal, or accelerator??? did I say accelerator? CLUTCH pedal. DBW cars have a clutch switch, much like a brake light switch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted October 10, 2006 Took a quick pic of the pedals, but the cover is still in the way, can you spot anything??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted October 10, 2006 LOL - erm yeah take the cover off.... mines got this huge great assembly behind it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted October 10, 2006 Phat Clutch pedal, or accelerator??? did I say accelerator? CLUTCH pedal. DBW cars have a clutch switch, much like a brake light switch. You did say Clutch, and now youve said that ^^^ I'll have to get the cover off and have a look. Cheers mate ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stan 24v 0 Posted October 10, 2006 Yep, still got the C box. Whats the 6 spd like in comparison then? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted October 10, 2006 Oh it's good, very good but it is a TDI remember - I still go for 7th sometimes! Hurry up with the pic - I'm meant to be out drinking!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted October 10, 2006 I always found the MK4 TDI 6 speed to be very notchy but nice and short throw but great for motorway cruising! 6th at 80MPH is something nice and low like 2,500RPM! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
