My 2000 Beetle TDI is intermittently having a problem starting. Sometimes when you turn the key over the #53 Relay Switch for the Clutch Pedal Switch is buzzes. I am also able to start the vehicle without depressing the clutch pedal. Has anyone experienced this issue? I have searched the forum with no success. Please help with any insight.
Thanks, Andrew |

If the car starts without the pushing the clutch, then the relay is fine. Sounds like the clutch switch is not operating correctly. There are 2 switches on the clutch pedal, the one you want to replace is white/gray and is WAY up on top of the pedal assembly.

Yeah, I just figured out that the plunger for the white/gray clutch switch isn't fully retracting. However, I'm still having the starting issue with a new switch.
I have swapped the #53 relays around, but no solution. I guess I can rule out the relay. |
