REV problem

[sweilam]

Good day all ,

while i am in my 1.3 ibiza it runs well on 1st gear .
being on 2nd gear it will act like this , a kick on the pedal will kick the REV meter to 3 or 4 k and it's true reading coz i can hear the engine reving . while the car is moving on same speed. sustaining the pedal down will lead to decrease in revs , and then it works normally .

this happens in 3rd and 4th as well . i cant run with my car as u can see . u know guys the fun part of it is that kick on the pedal of a VW engine .

would it be the clutch set ? i never had a problem like this , i always thought once engine is on a gear , increase in REV means increase in speed !

any clue ?

sounds like it could be your clutch.....

if you can explain in more detail, we might be able to help out some more.

sounds like clutch slip

do the slip test.. although it obviously is..

in 4th at around 30-40 so low revs, put the clutch down and rev rite up towards the red line.. drop the clutch

if the revs stay high.. its slippin.. if they drop suddenly and ur car jolts forwards.. its fine

open quiet road, pull car to halt, into 4th with clutch down, rev and release, if its stalls its fine....

ok guys tried it and outcomes are below,

doing 80 km/h REV reading 3K on 4th , i pressed the gas pedal totally while clutch is down also , rev to 6~7 K , then releasing clutch will make REV to dramatically drop back to 3K , but the car is not accelerating or (jumping) like i thought it will once i release clutch .

so ?

did you do as said above? id guess youd need to be at less than 3k revs

you want to be in 4th gear at a low speed, and then imagine your trying to do someone at some lights and rev it high and release the clutch quickly
