VW Revving when accelerator is flat

[StanleyRop]

Hi all


Anyone know what this could be and how expensive to fix.


I have 97 VW polo classic and what happens is if while driving I put the accelerator flat the the rev's start going up and the car rev's rather that giving power. Then I have to stop accelerating and start again slowly only putting the accelerator in half way.


Any Help Please.

Thanks

Your clutch needs replacement.

Or else there's oil on the cluthc, or it needs adjustment.

Yup - clutch.

Was R3.5k on my previous Corolla

def clutch.. was R1000 for part on a Getz ? if you can do it yourself should be around there else expect around R3000.

oh and you have to be very strong and know a lot about cars to change it yourself

Don't wait too long. You could already be causing damage to your flywheel due to the worn clutch-plate and that will just add to the bill (either to replace or to skim)
