New B7 RS4 Owner clutch switch question

Post by mne666 » Mon Jan 23, 2023 7:48 pm

Hi All

I’m new to RS4 owner ship having only owned S4’s in the past, so far I am enjoying it but I appear to have a common issue.

On the second day of owner ship the car didn’t start immediately and I had to hold the start button down, this has been the same on all cold starts since. I also notice that gear changes at low speed feel odd like I’m engaging the clutch whilst still under a lot of load ( it’s hard to explain what I mean but it’s just hard to make it smooth)

Cruise control works fine so I suspect the lower clutch sensor maybe failing or failed

Subsequent starts work first time on the start button so I don’t know if that’s an issue

The car has a dealer warranty so I can take it back but it’s a long way from home so for the sake of a £20 switch I’d just change it myself if that sounds like it’s what it is

I removed the which switch, it feels quite stiff

I tested it and it doesn’t change ohms reading when pressed in or released, does anyone know if it should be No or nc?
