Replacing clutch pedal

[easton7]

Clutch pedal went last night....stuck to floor then pulled back up, but not actually doing anything
AA guy confirmed weld had broke and clip had then shattered

Found quite a few threads here and on uk mk-ivs about doing the work yourself but I'm not great with cars

Just phoned my local VW specialist and told him what needs done
He wants nearly £200 (£40 parts rest for 5+ hours labour)
Told him I didn't think there was that much work involved in replacing 1 pedal assembly
He seems to think the full pedal box needs replaced though

Is he pulling my plonker?
Or do you need to replace the full pedal box when this (fairly common) problem occurs?

Cheers

Cheers I had looked at other posts but never seen that one

Interesting he got the pedal for £23 and my "specialist" quoted 40

Def think he's at it

Like I said though not very good at fixing things even though i understand how they work

Will phone around a few places see if I can get anyone who knows what I'm on about

i done mine myself. it took about half hour only due to lack of space... you need to make sure you order the clip which goes on the pedal aswell...

What area you from?

all you need to do is undo the nut/bolt for the pedal, take the broken one off and then put the new pedal in place along with the clip and spring and try get them all in at once...its a bit fiddly but can be done

I got mine fixed at my local garage, they put a new pedal an clip on and relieved my pockets of £80.
Not long had my golf so when the pedal went to the floor i sh!t blue lights and didnt know wot was goin on.
I`d of fixed it myself if i knew it was the weld.

Just curious HOW LONG DO CLUTCH PEDALS LAST?
