Does anyone know how to fit R32 Pedals to a 2000 GTI Polo ?


I was contemplating on buying them but wasnt sure how to fit them.

Can anyone help ? ?

Cheers Rich

First, buy a set off Martyn (I see you've already enquired so thats good)

When you get them, the rubber/plastic pedals you currently have are all removable, with a bit of effort.

• 1. Gas rubber = clipped on, two clips on each side, comes off with relative ease.
  
  2. Brake rubber = secured mainly by a rubber "bung" which holds it onto the metal pedal underneath. Work it loose around the edges, starting from the bottom of the rubber, and use a bit of brute force to get it off.
  
  3. Clutch rubber = a bit harder. The rubber can be loosened around the edges before removing it much like the brake pedal, except no "bung" this time. There is a rubber extension around the left of the metal pedal which keeps it very secure. It does come off though!

So with some effort (prepare for bruised/aching fingers!) they all come off and the replacements go on in pretty much the same way as the old ones came off. Only exception is the new R32 gas pedal, which will slide on like the brake/clutch pedal and may require a little araldite/superglue to make sure it is as secure as possible. That said I haven't gotten the araldite out on my 337 gas pedal yet and it's fine...

Howzat for starters? HTH

Like a nonce I didn't take pictures of my pedal fitting - d'oh! But the description is pretty much spot on!

Nice description

Cheers if I'd have taken photos I would have done a DIY guide... again d'oh!
