Hi just bought an s3 so new to this all. car has a revo remap 265bhp but i find that when putting my foot down and changing gears the revs take a while to come down . is this common and who knows whats wrong?
Starry said:this is a fairly common problem, but there does not seem to be one answer, i tried the clutch switch which was no help. i was told that the clutch switch is only to cut the cruise control off when pressing the clutch, right or wrong i dont know,
next i tried cleaning the throtle body and the butterfly inside as this seemed to be a possibility but still no luck.
the last thing i tried was the n75 valve which i changed for a j type, now this is the closest ive got to fixing the problem, its not right but its a lot better and i can change gear without looking and sounding like a 95 year old with no hand foot co-ordination..

The revs problem was solved with the clutch switch, about a tenner at main dealer.
I thought mine would have been more powerful for 210bhp (coming from a 160bhp rover coupe). Used VAGCOM and some clever people on here to realise my MAF (mass air flow meter) was knackered. Replaced this and the car was transformed, like it had a rocket up the ****. This was £64, again at main dealer Audi Northampton (big plug... top service from them).
You can just disconnect your MAF and take it for a spin to see if that changes anything. If the car feels quicker then chances are you need a new one. When I disconnected my knackered one the difference was massive.

where as now they just drop totally and make gear changes quicker
which is another minor prob sorted for me:thumbsup:
Good luck anyone else who's got this prob
imported_SYNAPS3 said:YES! ABSOLUTELY!
It must be the clutch switch.
I had the same problem. Extremely annoying. Not only the car but also some dealerships who claimed that it was normal. Also got alot of the heavy flywheel crap... But if it was NOT there before it cant suddenly appear. Eventually got a new and even more faulty switch and with the service manager sitting in my car with me, the cause of the problem was evident. Got a new switch and my Rev's drop nicely now. Change the clutch switch cause you will not regret it! <font color="blue"> </font>
SYNAPS3 - Just add MDMA

simonwjones said:hear what you are all saying, so how come my old shedof an A6 avant had a clutch switch and NO cruise control?????
Dealer told me it was to drop revs slightly when changing gear.
Simon
If the clutch switch cuts the revs when depressed, or closes the throttle, how come if you keep your foot on thrrottle and dip the clutch when driving, the revs stay or increase as the engine load reduces?
