NEW RS4 Owner

Hi all, I have recently purchased a RS4 B7 and i am loving it soo much at the moment it is the best decision i made.

A couple of days ago i noticed the clutch went abit funny and the cruise control stopped working i researched on this forum and i discovered the clutch pedal switch needs to be replaced i have been to dealer and purchased 1 for around £15.

Unfortunately, since the problem i have also noticed when i put my clutch down the revs stay high for afew seconds and then drop very slowly can anyone help?

so when i engage the next gear and release the clutch it gives the car a funny jerk, i wonder if this is connected to the clutch pedal switch?

can anyone help it would be much appreciated. thanks.

It's all part of the same problem - the clutch switch. I had the same problem last year and the revs not dropping and jerky gear change were what i noticed at first as I never use the cruise control. I posted on here and got the correct answer and cheap to fix as well. I got my mate who has his own garage to fit mine but it can be done - there should be a fitting guide on here somewhere if you search for it but be careful not to twist it to activate before you fit as you break it!!

Oh and almost forgot FON!
