Product Overview and Functionality

The Facet 7.1310 clutch starter safety switch is an essential component in the starting system of Volkswagen Passat vehicles. It acts as a safety interlock by detecting clutch pedal position and allowing the engine to start only when the clutch is fully depressed. This prevents accidental vehicle movement during ignition and protects the transmission system from damage. The switch is engineered to meet OEM specifications, providing a reliable and precise fit for Volkswagen Passat models.

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Facet 7.1310 clutch starter safety switch requires basic automotive electrical knowledge. Ensure the vehicle is turned off and the battery is disconnected before beginning. Locate the existing clutch starter safety switch on the clutch pedal assembly of the Volkswagen Passat. Remove the old switch carefully and install the new Facet 7.1310 switch in the same position, securing all connectors firmly. After installation, test the switch by attempting to start the engine without depressing the clutch pedal to confirm proper operation.

Facet manufactures the 7.1310 clutch starter safety switch to meet stringent quality standards, ensuring durability and reliable performance in Volkswagen Passat vehicles. While specific warranty details may vary, Facet products typically come with a limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
