Title: Clutch and car running problem help needed
Post by: carpetviper on 26 January 2011, 19:49

I had a new clutch fitted to my mk3 golf gti last month and everything been great till tonight the car started to grab at gears untill finally it would change at all.

Now the most worrying thing is that now the engine refuses to run it spins fires then sound like it on 3 cylinders and dies could this be anything like the clutch fouling the flywheel at all.

I would like to add that the engine ran perfect up untill the clutch playing up.

Any ideas

Running on 3 could the coilpack, sounds like you need a new clutch cable.

I agree with the cable but I wondered if the clutch stop the car running as it ran perfect until the clutch started playing around tonight
