im rather new here so if this thread is in the wrong department, please relocate me.
i drive a 2000 tdi golf. with an ALH, and obviously a 5sp manual
it has around 200k miles
the original owner had the clutch replaced at around 80k miles
it was replaced by the dealership.
no telling what they put in it, but i would speculate an identical part number.
so around 20k miles ago i was road trippin from my current location in NW Florida, up to North Carolina.
about an hour into the trip i finally turned on the cruise control in 5th gear, and held the accelerate switch for a few seconds, and the engine speed rose rather quickly, while the speedo remained constant...
the computer stopped accelerating before i could recognize what was going on, so i slowly accelerated up to cruising speed manually.
it was bugging me pretty badly, and (only about 45 minutes from home/30 miles) after a bit i tried to "test" the clutch. sure enough it slipped
but it didnt seem to have any problems cruising, so i proceeded to my brothers house.
after arriving home some 1500 miles later
i met with my dad, and explained the symptoms. we attempted to test it once more, and it would not slip.
we couldnt even get it to slip trying.
in the past few months ive installed .216 injectors, and demufflered the exhaust.
and it still wont slip...
any explanations?
and if i was to get engine tuning would my likely clutch fail immediately
