I'm in need of some help (as you do)
i work in the motor trade but I work on Porsches and ferrari etc. my knowledge on general cars is vague....
i have a 2004 2.0tdi a3, I bought the car 15 months ago and as I bought it the guy said it has had a remap.... It seemed a little nippy but nothing much..... (It's had a decat so I think this may be the reason for the better response)???
i drove the car a week and had the dreaded dual mass vibration at tickover, so I put a solid flywheel kit in it and a new starter motor, as that had a high resistance when warm so struggled to crank....
All was good and roughly 10k miles later, when I was driving down the slip road the car got to 2000rpm (accelerating) and the rev needle lifted (as tho the clutch was slipping) but only went up to 2400 rpm then back to around 2100 rpm and kept accellarating with no slip...????!!!!
I then went in to 6th and accelerated and same again.....
every gear at 2000rpm (less noticeable in lower gears) it does the same thing.... The revs blip up a few hundred rpm but then back down????
ive tested the clutch every way possible (I'm in the motor trade) and it's checking out fine, I can't get it to slip at all.
ive even at the point where the rev counter lifts as tho it's slipping, I've dipped the clutch to enhance it to slip but it doesn't.....
i read somewhere on a forum a while back that the clutch switch can over ride the rev counter?
I feel that although the revs lift on power/boost, that it's not the clutch slipping..... It's like the management system is correcting something faulty?
ive also tried it with the traction control off and on as my pal once had a focus st170 years back (when we were stupid and young) and although with the traction control off and dropping the clutch to spin the wheels etc, it would just slip the clutch and stink!
i know it's a long shot but I hope someone has had this problem lol.
much appreciated,
Ryan.
