hi all
when i put my foot down the engine revs high but not in smooth way like normal car should. it jumps right up to high revs but the car doesnt accelerate with it then when u let the accelerator off then the car jurks forward. its especially embarrasing when overtaking because it sounds real bad. its hard to explain.
ive tried changing the maf but that hasnt worked.

Sounds either like a slipping clutch or a dirty throttle body?? :undecided:

slipping clutch sadly

no nothing. i checked it over and had split in pipe because my boost was well down and now the boost is back to what it use to be but this problem is still happening.

look in the info section for the G60 thread (assuming yours is a 1.8T)
most people have had the problem and you're looking around £400 or so all in

to check if its ur clutch, stick it in 5th and put ur foot down, if it revs its tits off without accelerating much its ur clutch
yet im unsure if it is the clutch though, u say a weird noise?ive never heard of a weird noise if a clutch is slipping???

True mk2's are too reliable tho :wink:

putting it in 5th and putting foot down is exactly what happens, the car hardly goes but revs its tits off which is embarrasing on motorways
