Clutch problem !

Volkswagen Passat 2012  133000 miles
Having an issue with my 2012 Passat, the car had a new clutch, flywheel and cylinder put on before I had the car, I’ve ran the car for nearly 3 month and it’s been fine apart from the past week it’s been very hard to get the car in gear, goes into gear when engine isn’t running but won’t when running.
Any ideas what could be up ?

Strange noise

Volkswagen Passat 2010 1.6 Bluemotion  110000 miles
When I attempt to drive/take off in 1st gear I am hearing a
Strange knocking noise,. Once I have picked up speed and changed to 2nd the noise is gone... No problem in selecting gears, just this noise. The other day when I was changing gear I found a vibration in the clutch pedal. Anybody any ideas as to what this might be. No warning lights etc on dash... The mouse started 2 days ago and I think it's staring to get worse.

Sounds to me like your thrust bearing / concentric slave is failing. Easiest way to check this out is start the car and depress the clutch does the noise change ? Then release it to compare a good bearing should sound the same always pressed or depressed. Hope this helps

I have a similar if not the same issue - when setting off in 1st gear i hear a grating knocking noise only starts when setting off in gear as i take the pedal up. I think its also in 2nd but hard to hear over the engine. It apears to be more previlant on an uphill start.

Transmission box

Volkswagen Passat 2002  400000 miles
Transmission 5hp-19. The gearbox pan was hit and the oil level in it dropped. The box went into emergency mode. After reading the error "4th gear clutch slip" and resetting the error, the gearbox went out of emergency mode. Now sometimes the gearbox disappears on the move, the revs are increasing, but the car is not picking up speed in any of the gears. But the speedometer is increasing, as if the car is moving.

Ambreiaj passat b6

Volkswagen Passat 2006 1.9 TDI 312000 miles
Hello everyone! I had a problem with the clutch: it stuck to the floor. I went to the mechanic and changed the clutch pump, the problem appeared again, only the clutch stuck to the floor only on the fourth or fifth start. I then changed the gearbox piston. The same thing happens: the pedal locks only like now when the engine is warm. I try to start it after driving the car for a while and it stops and it just tries to start and doesn't do so shaking a little bit hard. I try to start it several times and the same thing happens, the fourth or fifth time it starts. On the go, it's ok, as if it ha… Read complete

Computer failing

Volkswagen Passat 1999  170000 miles
My car was without being used for 7 months because its clutch was damaged. A week ago, I took it to the mechanic because it could not be started, he moved some relays and it finally started. The problem is that the acceleration is now failing. I was told that it is misconfigured as it was a long time disconnected from the battery. But when the vehicle was scanned, the computer could not be read. I don't know how to do to be able to see the computer because its connector does not show any signal. Can someone advice me please?
