Hey Guys

Have literally just noticed a problem with my new Polo SE I picked up a couple of weeks ago. When depressing the throttle fully the car seems to get full power but the pedal seams to stick and if you put a bit more pressure on it it seems to move an extra centimetre or so and I’m unsure if it alters the power

I’m going to give the dealership a ring but was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue? And if so what it was? Or even if it is normal and some sort of sensor I’m unsure

Thanks

This is normal.
If you're using the speed limiter function, using this extra piece of throttle overrides the speed limiter (accompanied by a warning noise) and allows you to speed up to overtake someone.
Then as soon as you release the throttle back to its normal position, the speed limiter function will resume.

Perfect thank you, I’ll take it for a drive and test it out. I wa freaking out cause there’s only 900 miles on the clock

Also, if you have drivers modes on your model and you're driving like miss daisy in eco mode (and only getting 50% throttle response over the travel vs sport mode), if you bury the pedal past the click area towards the end of the pedal travel, the driving mode is overridden and you get full throttle response while you're beyond the click.

Hi

Mine does the same thing which I believe is normal.

The point of it seems to be that when the speed limiter is activated, adding that bit of pressure causing the accelerator to go that bit further, the speed limiter is deactivated if you need a bit more speed suddenly
