S3 Over revving on gear shift.

[Booth1982]

Hi guys I have done some reading on this site and a couple others. and most of them are pointing to the clutch switch causing this issue on my 2003 BAM S3. What I would like to know. is the oem Part number for this switch, and how hard it is to change?

Please any replies will be much appreciated.

if you have vcds you can see clutch switch operation, and brake etc

No VCDS at the moment. would like just to know the part number and how difficult it is to change. anyone????

Above is a helpful walk-through about replacing the pedal. Its from the 8L FAQ's. Think the switch gets a mention in there too...

Sounds like the clutch switch.

Mine did this and I replaced the clutch switch and it solved the problem. It's very easy to do. Took me about 10 mins

Easy job ten mins, new part is revised and better oem version now.

I think part was a around £19 from tps.

Ok, I think maybe mine does this & has ever since I've owned it two years ago.
Do you mean every time you dip the clutch to change up when accelerating hard the revs rise causing a bit of a jerky change?
