INSTALL FLY BY WIRE ON MK3

[cts_casemod]

Hi all,

I need to install an electronic throttle (Fly by wire) from an mk4 on a Mk3.
Problem is the pedal bracket on the mk3 seems to be a single unit for all the 3 pedals. Has anyone successfully done this conversion? If so, how?

Many Thanks

Been done a few times. I know f17bad (aka kells) has done it.

Did it on mine, cut the accelerator pedal out and fabricated a bracket to mount the fbw pedal unit.

yep, did the same on my mk2, remove original pedal and custom mount new.

might be a stupid question... and proberbly something you have already looked at...
but can you not just install the mk4 pedals and mounting brackets?

Or a Golf3 TDI accelerator pedal unit?  Unless I'm mistaken they're FBW.

Yes although i'm sure it wont be compatible with the mk4 loom.

Also a mk4 pedalbox and mounting for FBW is completly different from a mk3,

Why would you be sure about that?  Check number of wires and resistance across travel on control circuit.  if it's the same for both pedals then you're on to a winner.

These things aren't designed to be difficult, so don't feel you have to make them hard

Try in then although removing a mk3 acc pedal is a b!tch

Can assure you this will NOT work
