you are missing a plastic clip that clips onto the pedal and provides the flat surface that the pedal switch should be resting against.

part number 1J2721332A

make sure you remove the switch , fit the clip, leave pedal up and then fit the switch again

 

Hi
Thanks WAK.....I bet the original switch was probarbly ok, just slipping off the pedal arm!! :roll:

Thanks again..Dave

 

I was just about to tell you the same thing, just spent sunday afternoon trying to do just that and could not figure out why the plunger was missing the pedal until i did a search on here and solved it.

 

Thanks Ian.....did you feel a difference in the driving of the car at all? (I'm getting the black clip fitted tomorrow.)

I feel a bit 'soft' because this is the third little job I've had done by someone else since owning the TT, all well within my capabilities, but I've had this doubting myself, you know, serious piece of kit, dont want to cock it up....but in hindsight I would have been ok. Gonna be more positive from now on.

I'm just doing a bit of surgery, battery change in the alarm siren box following a fantastic 'how to' posted on here.

GREAT FORUM SITE THIS.....regards dave

 

Well i am yet to fit my black clip yet but yeah it will stop the over revving mate.

 

All sorted now, brilliant.
I had adapted my driving to take foot off the gas a split second before clutch/gearchange to alleviate the over-revving a bit. Now its just away we go like it should....revs dip as soon as I clutch to change. Thanks to midland vw for diagnosing the problem in the 1st place and fantastic service.

So what was the problem then?

 

Hi Wak

When they changed my thermostat and took it for a test drive last week, mechanic said all sorted, but said did I know it probably needed clutch pedal switch looking at as it was over-revving a bit on gear change. Did'nt know there was a switch to do that!... only come across cruise control switches down there. also only had the TT 8 weeks and suppose I'd got used to it....put it down to a little turbo over-run.
