Treading on accelerator & brake at same time

[smutts]

Yup, sounds a bit sad.
But, when I accidentally tread the go & stop pedals at once on VAG cars, 
the engine management comes up with a sensible guess & cuts the go pedal when the brake pedal is applied at the same time.

The 1.6hdi on my Partner (I know, I know) in the same situation assumes you really want to arrive at the accident.

Do your cars ignore the throttle if the brake is applied? (& I have a duff brake switch not talking to the engine management).

Thanks if you could let me know.

There have been a few times when pressing the brake i wonder who the hell is revving the head off their engine so you are not alone.

And no it does ignore the throttle.

I just bent my pedals sideways to get more boot clearance ... sorted.

How did you bend them? Heat or mechanical?
I got used to it now, but a little bit more clearance would be nice.

Looks like a win for Volkswagen unfortunately.

It's about the only thing I really dislike about the Berlingo/ Partner.

Pity, as it would probably be a minor software update.

Looks like pedal adjustment is on the cards.

It's only happened to me when I drove in my rigger boots so I avoid doing it by not driving in them.

This is fixed on the B9, you can't touch the brake & throttle together or the throttle is cut to zero, as it should be on any drive by wire system (electronic pedal).

I would have thought the M59 would also be like this at least on the 1.6HDi, not so on the other engines with a cable throttle. Surprising to learn it doesn't.

B9 Diesel 1.6 2016, Electronic pedal.
I checked it specifically before posted a message...

I can rev the engine (haven't tried more than 3500 RPM), when the brake pedal depressed.

Gone are the days of "heel 'n toeing" then!

Don't worry, it still works at least up to K9
