VW Polo - clutch pedal bracket snapped

backinbusiness

Hello all.

As above - bracket snapped at the weekend. The AA did a temporary repair to get me home, (took up the slack in the cable to enable me to change gear).

AA mechanic reckoned it would be easy enough to make a spot-weld repair.

Seems this is a recognised problem with Polos of my vintage.

Anyone agree? Have experience?

Thanks for any input.

I seem to remember that issue on the Polo,, is it the 2001ish model? I would of thought a new pedal box would be a better solution, you may struggle to get it welded with the access. Have a look on the vag forums there should be a mod for your new box to prevent it happening again

i welded one up a few years ago in situ
no way did i want to take it out because it would be very very involved
get a back street type emporium to do the business

Thanks for this. My local garage were able to spot weld the bracket.

Fingers crossed.
