Title: any body know about vw gold diesels??
Post by: symes on 18 January 2013, 12:52:23
As said-friend got one-clutch feels fine but engine revs without car accelerating? I know nothing about them as they dont have a v8 or rear wheel drive. So please offer any advice so that I can pass on info to friend.

If engine is running and no drive in any gear then clutch (or gearbox, not unknown).

Do check the clutch master cylinder to.

If changing clutch then do the DMF and full kit  :y
