VW and the pedal box issue?!


Recommended Posts

Hey. VW have said to me... For lupos.. "If the car is under 5 years of age and under 999,999 miles. we cna do it Free of charge"

which then i thought... a million miles in 5 years? Is it really possible?

Hey rob, The symptoms which ive got and heard of my self are :

Grinding into reverse.

Hard to change into gear (for me Especialy 1st - 2nd)

a nice creaking sound when you put your foot down on the clutch pedal

And a main give away is the Clutch pedal is lower than that of the Break.

The part that sheers off is like the stop for the pedal. so if it was to go... youd have to really put your foot down in order for the clutch to even remotly work.

One last thing, look beind the clutch pedal and youll see the stop im talking about, the clutch cable is fed thoughn there. There will be a crack or signs of fatigue on the side of the uni where it connects to the rest of the pedal box.

Hope this helps
