Evening folks,
Just had a wee blast in the other half’s Polo SE.
When pressing the accelerator it goes all the way down then there’s a “click” and it goes a bit further. Any ideas on what this is?
TIA

Re: Accelerator Pedal Query
It acts like a "kickdown" button you see on traditional autos, but it also has another purpose for both manual and auto. If you're pootling along in eco mode with a dulled throttle response and you need the full-on power your car can offer in an instant, you floor it and that clicky bit of travel overrides the throttle dulling mode you may be in.

Also, if you have the speed limiter on, clicking further disengages it and does full acceleration
