gavinhendy Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) I've done a lot off searching and digging around on here and I have red so many stories so I have a question for u guys , Last week I Baught a 2001 lupo 1.4s, 101,000 miles , dose have a bit of service history but not much , cambelt done at 50 thousand miles , I am the 5th owner .The thing is the pedal box has failed , I can still drive it fine apart from the clutch is stiff , the clutch pedal is about 1.5 - 2 inches lower than the brake pedal , Also there is some nasty rust on the roof all along one side ! No accident damage what so ever , apart from that the condition of the car is great :-) Do I have any chance of getting it done free off Vw , Thanks Gav Edited October 2, 2011 by gavinhendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 It might just be too old to fall within the free repairs of pedal boxes. The roof gutter you may be able to have repaired but it depends whether the car has had any previous paintwork done.More importantly your cambelt change is 11,000 miles overdue!

Pete91 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I think for the pedal box to be repaired the car has to be either under 8 years old or have done under 1,000,000 miles. In saying that though VW said they wouldn't do mine because apparently my model wasn't one of the cars affected by the dodgy pedal box problem even though it was under 8 years old I think it's just your luck as to whether they'll do it for you. Give them a call and see what happens Also, there's a how to thread on this if you fancy doing it yourself 8) 'Tis a bitch of a job tho...
