revving high!!!

[devin13]

hi there, ive noticed my cupra seems to be revving high through the gears, ie if i take the revs to 5000 rpm it will take agges to get back to idle speed! is this normal? im new to the scene and wondering if it isnt normal what the problem could be/ any help would be much apreciated! thanks

It sounds like a clutch pedal switch is faulty. when your changing gear the car will rev about another 1k because the ecu doesn't know you have pressed the clutch down.so over revs it. will do it more on fast gear changes.no so with slow changes..
if you both have VAG com. check instruments for faults this will show clutch pedal sensor.

i think they only a few quid from dealer. takes less than 3 mins 2 change over on the cupra r dont need to take any panels off

ok thanks alot mate, will check into it, dont have vagcom so will just get the part and fit it to see if it solves the problem, could a faulty maf sensor also cause this? cheers

dont mean to sound stupid but where can this switch be found? and do you have a part number? thanks alot for your help

I cant find the part number anywhere, but i know they are 4 Pin Blue clutch pedal switch.

They are located at the top part of the clutch pedal in a bracket. turn anti clock wise, to release them out of the bracket , unclip the wired plug two side tabs hold them in and pull the old clutch switch away. re fit the new switch in to the bracket and turn it clock wise there are some locating pegs so u cant fit it wrong a bit of a twist helps it in, replug the wires and road test.

Let me know how you get on with the problems

hhhmmm mine does this to, i thought it was down to the flywheel too. I've got VAGCOM working now so i'll check the instruments module as recommended.
