Clutch Pedal Sensor?

**64 SPLIT** · 15-05-2009,12:07 PM

I've just completed installing a retro-fit cruise control kit to my 2000 TDI Passat, took it out for a test drive after activating it in VAGCOM and it didn't work.

Checked the clutch/brake pedal sensor switches in measuring blocks in VAGCOM and noticed that the clutch is showing as being permanently depressed (the binary value doesn't change whichever position it's in).

I understand the 3 digit field should be 0 0 0 when all pedals are at rest and should change to 1 0 0 when the clutch is pressed - however VAGCOM shows the switch as 1 0 0 all the time.

I've rung my local VW garage to order a new clutch pedal switch and have been told there is no such thing?!

From what I've read on here it seems there IS a pedal switch/sensor on various models of VW including the Passat so is it just my local VW garage that are useless numpties?!

According to the wiring diagram models with manual gearbox have a F36 clutch pedal switch from August 1997

thanks for that - rang another VW garage and enquired there about the part.
Sure enough they knew what I was talking about and gave me the part number. So I've rang my local VW garage and asked for a clutch pedal switch again - to be told the same again - so I gave them the part number. Amazing silence ensued!!

Can't wait to go collect the part - think I might ask them what it is - maybe it has a different name at VW!
