saint_david Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) I noticed yesterday in the footwell beneath the accelerator pedal on my Arosa Sport some sort of screw in 'bolt' thingy. It seems to prevent the accelerator from being pushed all the way down to the floor. Can anyone shed any light on what its there for or have i answered my own question? Cheers!

lunalupi Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) What year?Mine had a stopper type thing under the accelerator - I took it out when I changed the trim over and haven't noticed any effect, good or bad style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Edited June 19, 2007 by lunalupi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Was wondering the same thing, i've got one on the Ibiza aswell. I suppose it depends on whether you have a throttle cable or fly by wire also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sciroccotune Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Was wondering the same thing, i've got one on the Ibiza aswell. I suppose it depends on whether you have a throttle cable or fly by wire also.its just meant to stop the acc peddle at its maximum travel. if you take it pout you are potentially stressing the peddle.

Silver! Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 its just meant to stop the acc peddle at its maximum travel. if you take it pout you are potentially stressing the peddle.I would agree with the above, but it may also be the cable thats being stressed.

penry Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Its also there to hold the carpet down too. Doesnt make a diff at all on pedal travel. Once you're down to the screw you are to the floor anyway lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 im still standing by my theory that if you remove it , it turns the accelerator into a hyperspace pedal , especially in the 1litres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The subtle modder Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 im still standing by my theory that if you remove it , it turns the accelerator into a hyperspace pedal , especially in the 1litressuppose you do need all the help you can get in them style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflmao:" border="0" alt="roflmao.gif" /> wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
