As for the clutch pedal, they can be a little stiffer than some other makes but then thats usually a sign of some quality engineering style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> It may be worth checking the pedal box though as they do have an 'unofficial fault' which can mean the pedal box breaks & you cant use the clutch. Most people on this forum who've experienced this have had it repaired FOC through VW though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Comes down to your tyres.I have 16's with 195/40/16 rubber and they have a slightly smaller rolling radius than my original 15" GTI rims with 205/45/15 rubber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
