Ill look into the assist spring - I can’t believe how soft the pedal is. It’s even more noticeable after driving the golf and getting into another car with a ‘ normal’ weighted pedal.


How thick is the bump stop out of interest?

About 3 thick washers plus the top. The pedal is better without the assister spring but once it's off you'll not be able to get it back on... Mine was making a pinging noise each release too so I was very happy to get rid of that.

I'll measure it when I get off my lazy behind and let you know.

It's pretty difficult to be sure as my eyes aren't what they once were :rolleyes: About 10mm though.

That sounds fine. It might be worth considering attaching something to the back of the pedal, it might be easier.
