about £25 for an original replacement, fit it yourself using the guides on here or garage will take about an hour to fit

I got one from a breaker on ebay 10 quid plus 5 quid postage. hardest thing about fitting was the spring but a little tip is to close the spring in a vice and ty wrap it put it in place and cut them carefully. Another thing is if you found the little plate that breaks off the peddle and you can weld, you can weld it back on i've done it with my old one and kept it as a spare

I had this problem in my last MK4 Golf. I was happily driving along and suddenly my foot went to the floor while pressing the clutch on a gear change. Cost me about £150 to have it repaired as VW advised that they had to do some welding behind the clutch and replace some mechancs behind the peddle.

robbing barstewards the mechanics they mention is a bit of plastic and the welding is a little metal plate about 10mm by 20mm took me about a hour to fit mine and weld my old one total cost 15 quid

did you have a creaking sound coming from your clutch pedal before it broke?

Nah it didnt, was no warning at all, one minute it was fine then it just went

the aa bloke said it was the black metal bit that had snapped off which was the cause, he did a tempory fix for me to get home

i did this today and it took me 90 mins (4 hours if you want to include the travelling to main dealer)

the hardest bit was the spring... just locating it!

oh and tip for the white clip leave it in boiling water for 5 mins then clip it on to the master cylinder push rod... its so much easier!
