Golf 7.5 clutch or gear problem need advice

Post by Fredsop »

I have mk7.5 1.0 tsi when changing gears from 1st to 2nd from 2000rpm to 3000rpm range I can feel something through the clutch pedal like a sort of vibration and the engine makes like as if the revs are hanging, happens when you change from 2nd to 3rd between same Rev range rest of gears are fine. Car is still under warranty but closest vw is far away does anyone know if it's gears or clutch or is it normal Rev hanging?

Could be a characteristic of the 3 cylinder engine?

Aaaah the famous VW rev hang,

Some say it's for unburnt fuel due to emissions, lag etc....., It's in the tune of the ECU, the exact reason only VW knows

My SO's Up does the same, I think it is most likely a bit of "flywheel effect"
