T6.1 accelerator pedal kickdown

[Chippy1970]

Hi all I've been taking it easy with my new van but now it's a few months old I've floored it a couple of times. In doing so I've noticed there's a point in the pedal travel that you can feel like it hits something. It's as if there's some resistance half way down.

Anyone else noticed this or should I get it looked at.

Accelerator Pedal Kickdown Removal

The only thing I didn't like about my T6.1 was the annoying 'kickdown' resistance in the accelerator pedal. There's no good reason to have it fitted on a vehicle with a manual gearbox, so I thought I'd work out what causes the resistance and get rid of it. I didn't want to risk breaking my...
