The subtle modder Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 that sound a right load of **** as you say how can they give to one and not the other ?and just a thought they obviously arent willing to help you that much if they cant even get a contribution so why give them the job of doing it? go snomewhere else if YOUR going to have to pay but personally id try once more with the dealers there has got to be one person there that can sort some kind of dealwayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 A symptom of the pedal box on the way out wouldn't be a strange squeaking noise when you depress the clutch would it? Just wondering 'cos I'm trying to get to the bottom of a difficult gear selection problem on my girlfriend's 2000 Lupo Sport (80k miles)? Whereabouts would I need to look to see if the pedal box bracket was on the way out - inside the car or in the engine bay on the bulkhead perhaps?

N14L VW Posted December 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 yep thats defoo the pedal box going mine was doing this is it a creaking noise and does the pedal not fully come back out after you have depressed the pedal. i would go and get it seeeen to soon as possible as mine fully went and it was nearly impossible to put it in gear. the bracket is only 25 pound plus vat so if i was you and you wernt getting anylook getting it dun for free i would buy the bracket and get a good local garage to fit it for you as i payed 250 labour charges to get it fixed from a vw dealership niall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The subtle modder Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 OFF TOPIC SLIGHTLY style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />i thought the pedal box on mine was going when it was just 2 1/2 years old so asked the dealers specifically to check for this problem and their reply was "there isnt a known problem with them at all and really we should be charging you for looking at it if there isnt a problem"the lad mechanic looked and noticed that the pedal box bolts were sticking through the bulkhead yet no nuts were on the back of them so he put two on and it totally changed the feel of the clutch because what would of been happening is every time i pressed the clutch i was pressing the master cylinder away from the bulkhead style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" /> i was very pis$ed off that it was like this but all i got was "its fixed now so whats the problem"so check above the pedals if your having problems style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 the lad mechanic looked and noticed that the pedal box bolts were sticking through the bulkhead yet no nuts were on the back of them so he put two on and it totally changed the feel of the clutch because what would of been happening is every time i pressed the clutch i was pressing the master cylinder away from the bulkhead style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" /> i was very pis$ed off that it was like this but all i got was "its fixed now so whats the problem"so check above the pedals if your having problems style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />I noticed that the bolt poking through nearest the clutch pedal on our Lupo doesn't have a bolt on it yesterday, I wonder if this could be related to my problem? The other bolts seem to have nuts on, just this one that doesn't and I notce that when you press the clutch pedal the thing creaks and you can see the metal around the clutch pedal moving slightly, it should be fixed.Perhaps I'm missing a nut there too? It's going into the dealer for fixing tomorrow so I will ask them then, thanks for the tip. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinheadUK Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 when picked my 2001 sport back in october after 2 days there was a squeak everytime clutch pressed. Then bout 4 weeks later the gear change got worse n worse till couldnt get it in 1st or second gear , I took it back to toyota dealer last weekend where bought car from and he altered the clutch cable and all seems fine at the moment but i think il take it in this weekend and let em have a look at whats been said above as its still under warrantyI dont really fancy forking out any money for repair if I have to lol style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
