My 2021 Jetta gli clutch was not happy tonight. We took the kids to see Christmas lights and the area is a huge drive through ordeal. Well they have some steep hills and people are supposed to keep a steady pace. They didn't! They kept stopping repeatedly on the hills etc so I had to ride the clutch to keep it from stalling. It also has that hill assist which makes it even worse. So after doing this dance several times the clutch pedal started to feel sticky and the clutch felt less grabby. I'm not sure if it was the clutch getting hot or the clutch fluid getting hot. I didn't smell burning clutch. I decided to wait until the folks in front of me topped the hill before proceeding which the minivan behind me didn't like but owell.......is this a case of clutch to hit or is it possible the master cylinder fluid got to hot? After I let it cool off it was fine and went back to normal. Definitely won't be going back to that place though!!
