Clutch Pedal Judder/ Pulsating
Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2017 10:40 pm
Hi All!
I am new to the forum, and new to the Rocco scene!
I have just picked up a 62 plate 2.0 Bluemotion TDI Scirocco with 65k miles on the clock. Love everything about it, but couldnt help but notice something rather strange that I haven't felt on other cars. Thought i'd pop the question on here and see if it was a common thing
When I depress the clutch pedal, I can feel a vibration/pulsation in the pedal. It is worst when the pedal is only just slightly pushed in, and fades away the more the clutch is depressed.
It is most noticeable when I drive in a lower gear with high revs (2-3000 rpm) and slightly rest my foot on the pedal. This leads me to believe it must be related to engine speed. It isn't violent movement in the pedal, and I can't feel any clutch slip. However, it does feel like a strong 'massage' vibration.
This is the first diesel and first VW I have owned, so I am not sure if this is normal or not?
I must also note, I understand riding the clutch (only just depressing the pedal) is not a good driving style and not something I do. I however noticed the vibration during gear changes and played with the pedal, which caused me to notice it became worse when only slightly depressed and at high revs.
