FASTEDDIE4321 0 Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 This morning my GTI started to act funny. When I was accelerating my RPM shot up really fast. The car would go but acceleration was slow. It would happen every time I would switch gears, anybody have this problem before? Link to post Share on other sites
ssaunders 199 Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Sounds like clutch mate, when it slips the revs go up but no or little power gets to the wheels. s VR6Pete and rich 2 Link to post Share on other sites
FASTEDDIE4321 0 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Clutch is fine, it switches gears easily. I don't know if enough fuel is getting through because it accelerates slowly. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if enough fuel is getting through because it accelerates slowly. Ok, switching gears doesn't mean good clutch. From what your saying is you change gear the revs rise quicker than normal and you don't accelerate as quick as normal? If you weren't getting enough fuel your revs wouldn't rise at all and you would jerk and misfire? rich and VR6Pete 2 Link to post Share on other sites
