Polo one should fit

they look the same, and part numbers for the 2 cars match up, but im wondering why theres an acc pedal attached when this isnt part of the pedal box?

may aswell just go to the dealer and get one tbh, its pretty much the same price after youve paid for delivery, and at least you know its a brand new, dealer item...

ive got an ibiza 1.4s interior going for peanuts if you are interested?

 

[r1k1]

where abouts are ya?? atm i need t get the pedal box sorted even though its bodged atm haha... what price are you looking at for it?

 

[ather`s]

im in mansfield, nottinghamshire. give me 20 quid and you can have it. i want it out of the way.

from doing the clutch cable a while ago, i seem to remember it just being a hole in the bulk head the cable goes through, and a plastic lug rests on the outside. If this is the case you could just buy a piece of thickish sheet metal and drill the same size hole in it, and put it over the hole in the bulkhead...

same problem happens on mk1 golfs, and theres a repair piece that is exactly this concept for its repair, simply just bonds to the bulkhead

 

[r1k1]

ahhh yeh the mechanic mentioned summit bout a plastic lug he said replace it but not got a clue where il get one from

 

[ibiza_95]

dont need to replace anything when doing it...
if he decides to drop the steering column hell have to replace shear bolts ( 2 of them ) but i managed to do it without dropping it so, tell him not to bother fettling with them

Now I may just be interested in that. Although I would have to get it couriered.

 

[ather`s]

if you want it you can have free as its going to cost you to courier it.

Well I am interested. Do you have any pictures of the interior? Im guessing its the sport interior with the seats the same as the gti ones, apart from the pattern on the cloth.

 

[ather`s]

pm me with your email and i will send you some mate. it wont be until 2moz tho because im on another pc. wont get mine back until 2moz.

 

[ather`s]

the seats are ok, no rips or fag burns. the drivers seat could do with a clean but the rest are ok. the bolsters in the drivers seat are ok aswell. the driver side door card isnt to clever but will repair, will do it before it goes. hope this helps. oh and got a set of red seat belts aswell but will want £40 for them.

When you changed your pedal box without removing the column, did you need to unbolt it from the UJ and swing it out the way or did you leave the whole column alone?

My clutch pedal has gone from slightly awkward, to jerky, to sticking to the floor to creaking in the space of a week, so I'm guessing it's about to die on me!

Thanks,

Pull out the lower glove box and remove the tray underneath, get some light in there and operate the clutch with your hand while monitoring what the pedal box is doing.

If its moving around get it welded in situ, bolted or replaced if its not then chances are its your cable.

ive got an adjustable steering column which i dropped to its lowest position... left the UJ alone, and just undid every bolt attached to the pedal box, and the bracket holding the far right of the box which iirc is under the carpet a bit but pretty obvious when your down there... to get the old pedal box out it took some jiggery pokery to get the brake pedal through the hole (which again youll see when you do it) but it is possible...
