This poll stems from the Pedal Placement thread.

I am trying to get more information in regards to the theory of your gas being disabled while your foot is on the break.
Currently I have a 2003 225 which I bought used. Since it had a previous owner, I'm trying to get a straight answer so I know whether or not the previous owner made any mods... with out getting a VAGCOM.


Please use the poll.


Thanks.

 

I mentioned i can rev in neutral but not in gear.

car
2000 fwd
diode, no chip

** Shouldnt your poll have one that says you cant rev with chip/no chip?

 

Manual or Automatic Transmission?


I have manual.

 

they only made manuals until either '03 or '04

 

I'm just trippen because I have driven about 10 TT's and mine feels a lot different (in a good way) then the other ones I've driven... that's why I bought it.

Since then, I've been wondering. *shrugs* I'll just go get VAG.

 

I haven't tried but I'm going to! ...2000 180 MQC

 

Okay, so after extensive testing (and wear on my poor brake pads) I've come to a conclusion!!
IF trying to step on the gas and brake at the same time you will slow down! Also left foot braking is a lot harder then it looks!
I could however step on the brake (with my left foot) and then step on the gas. At which point my RPM's would increase.
I attempted this in first - third gear.... Left foot braking for the win!!

 

left foot braking feels like i'm going to crash.

 

Leave your heel on the ground, just like you'd do with you right foot.

 

i have more control over my right leg.... when i swim, i go in circles.[:-][:-]
