If that's off the brake pedal assembly, i'd be thinking twice about driving it in case the brake assembly fails - perhaps get VW assistance out to confirm the car is roadworthy first?
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

My baby is now at the dealers  :sad:  Might not be fixed till Wednesday, they agreed that it is the locking thread from the clutch pedal. 

So I have a little Rock Up! to wiz around in for the next few days.  :undecided:

Got my baby back now  :grin: :grin: All fixed. 

The dealers told me that there was now a six month wait for a GTI, is that correct????????????????

They also had a Polo GTI in the show room, looked very nice in white.  :wink:

3 months wait for Gti (manual) according to Capitol VW in Wales. According to spec I guess.
