Help! Revving issue

[seanbmx]

Hi all

The problem I'm having is that whenever I change gear after about 1-2 seconds my car will rev itself up 10-20000 revs then settle back down, I'm thinking maybe it's a turbo fault but wouldn't know how to diagnose that. I'll try to get a video of it on my way home from work tomorrow.


My car is 1.8t agu mk4 any help would be greatly appreciated

try a throttle body clean see if that helps loads of guides online on how to do it

I cleaned my throttle body only about a month ago but thanks anyway

Still having this problem, surly some one can shed some light on the situation???

I was thinking of getting a boost gauge, would this give any clue to weather the turbo is packing up?

Just a thought could it be my clutch slipping?

if the revs go up but the speedo doesn't then yes the clutch is slipping.

That is exactly what's happening thanks
