Ah, i see :D I've never used it i dont think, but did think ETKA was the thing that showed you a picture of the item in its location, as an exploded diagram! Or is that something else?!

Yes it is but when you just search on a number it doesent show you a diagram.

Ahhh right, i see... Could you have a look for that part in a place then, and see if it can be found that way? I "discovered" the part when i was putting the fusebox back together, so it should be around there somewhere?

It goes on the top of the clutch pedal, you will notice now that your clutch pedal sits higher than the brake pedal ;)

Mk2GTI2.016v: Use the ATP function, it shows you what other cars have the part fitted and allows you to load up a diagram :)

Aha, i see! Thanks John, much appreciated! Is it fairly obvious where it goes, or will i need to see a diagram? What does it do anyway!?

its just a clutch pedal stop, it clips to the pedal asembly somwhere.  If your clutch pedal is more or less level with your brake pedal then a previous owner already replaced it ;)

Excellent info lads,  anyone have a copy of the ETKA disc,  not looking for charity and will pay,  maybe do a swap for Vagcom with keygen and Autodata 2004?
