2004 Golf SDI 2.0,cannot go faster than 80mph even with my foot to the floor!! I have just had a whole new clutch this week. any ideas why the loss of power.

On the boot floor or in the front of the service record you will find a data sticker the paint code is on that sticker.

Hello James,

If the engine revs up with no increase in speed, your clutch is slipping. Probably the reason the car was sold!

I would get a diagnostic check done on it as could be a number of things, is your engine management light on or does it come on at any point.

hmmm... 80mph @6000 rpm is not normal. you are needing a lot of power to produce 80mph. it seems clutch assembly needs replacement. clutch assembly includes clutch disc, fly wheel, and release bearing. might as well check your clutch master if the vacuums are still working properly. this might be the culprit to the stuck up clutch pedal.

after replacing the clutch assembly, you can reach 80mph @ 4000-4500rpm

hiya all can any1 help ive had a new master cylinder and slave because the car would not go into gear. problem not solved. took the clutch apart foubd out that the pressure plate is pused out with a long steel rod and it pushed out the nipple part in the middle of it. same happend with the new 1 it was only in there for 3 weeks what would cause that to happen again carnt figure it out any ideas guys vw golf t reg mk4 sdi 1.9

did it crash before ?? or have a look at ur back tyre and damge to them.

Get a diagnostic done, as these FSI engines bring many different problems from small and minor to huge such as head gasket.

Yes clutch pedal should start to drive about 1inch off the floor and when driving keep your foot away from the pedal,/ also when new clutch is fitted did they fit a complete clutch assy /and did they surface grind the flywheel as if it was badly worn on the 1st one then the new one wouldent last very long.
as when the clutch starts to drive 1" from the floor clutch is good /when it engages right out its buggered and slips so ask about the f/wheel

possibly the speed governor is broken? you should definately take this to a volkswagen repair shop, you don't sound like a mechanic to me! :)

that cable fited one side to cluch pedel and ather side fited gear box side where palte which is relecing clutch bearing. dont forget to adjust.
