Golf 3 Won't Accelerate by deathwing(m): 6:28pm On Sep 29, 2015
MY 1.8 VW Golf 3 can't seem to accelerate past 40km/h. The issue started this morning on my way to work. Any ideas? Changing into 2nd and 3rd gear is accompanied by a slight shudder. The 'idle' RPM is slightly lower.

Also just noticed switching on the AC tell a lot on the engine as the rpm reduces I'm in traffic now and afraid the car will stall sad

Lol. Someone just told me about the rear light thing. I have no idea how that could have come about.

I got the car about two months ago. It's my first car, and I used it to learn how drive. My teachers decided I couldn't burn the clutch because I picked up clutch control pretty quickly. I don't stress the car, I only mostly drive to and from work... Ten minutes away from home.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The clutch thing and rear light issue are the only problems right now. I recently fixed the disconnected vacuum pipe that a mechanic left open while fixing speakers in the door, so I'm not a total noob to the workings of a car.

Oh well... Guess I'll just get myself a new clutch plate tomorrow sad

For the clutch to be burnt after 2months of you driving it says a lot about your driving skills. You need to learn how to drive a manual vehicle.
