CITI 1.4I 2007 GOLF 1 - Switches off when I push my clutch in

Post by Duke12 »

Hi

When i am going to slow down or stop, the car dies when i put my clutch in
then i have to release the clutch in 3rd gear and it is back to normal

some time the idle is 2 lines under one when i do this aswell
and if I am going up hill and it switches off, i have to restart and keep the car on rev or it just dies

any advise how i can sort this out

Thanks

do a throttle body adaptation. If it persists you might need a new throttle body.
Assuming nothing else was worked on or changed recently otherwise
