Relationship Between Clutch And Warning Lights?

[Loon18 0]

My 1.9 GTi has some wonderful electrical gremlins...

 

In particular the stop light and water temp warning light are constantly on... until i dip the clutch when they go out?!

 

Does anyone have a clue as to why? is there some form of connection between the two?

 

Cheers

The wiring for all the sensors runs through a brown multiplug that sits loose above the top of the gearbox - I wonder if some of the wiring has been chaffed and is shorting out on the clutch arm (which is within 2-3" of where the wiring runs)?

Cheers dude - i'll track down the multiplug and try and trace the wiring as my first port of call!

 

P.S - it's still going - only 2000miles to go till it hits the magic 200k!
