My car struggles to start sometimes and now the cruise control doesn't work, sometimes it does, sometimes the car starts fine 🙃 Will a new switch sort this?
@@AB-hu4nm yes it can cause problems with cruise control and starting. if the switch is bad and says the clutch is always engaged or disengaged cruise control will not turn on. as for struggling to start that could be related but if it struggled to start with a bad clutch switch, it wouldn't turn over at all. also, if you have hanging revs between shifts, you clutch pedal switch is probably bad because the engine doesn't know you pushed in the clutch so it has no idea what to do
i just changed mine today watching this video . thank you
Glad it helped
Hello. Does the same procedure apply for the b6 passat? Just different switch.
To be honest I am not sure. I've never owned a Passat before. Sorry i wasn't of any help
@@markb6s4 Thank you anyway

I am not too sure on that. There is one way to find out. Luckily clutch switch is reasonable priced it's worth a try.
@@markb6s4 thanks. I've ordered a new switch anyway. 🤞

How do you know when your clutch switch starts to go bad?
What can happen is when you are in N the rev meter starts to rev on its own without you ever pushing on the fuel pedal
@@markb6s4 like when you’re shifting gears or just at a standstill?
When at a standstill
I didn’t have any of those issues. Just the rev hang. Thanks for this video.
@@aefan I was gonna say I have Rev hang between shifts in my 2.0tfsi so it’s more then likely this?
