You don't need a guide -

The clutch and brake - just pull off

The accel pedal you just unscrew the one bolt (left of the pedal)) pull out the wiring plug

Simple

Basic guide if you really need one

A tip for getting the plug off the throttle is to use a small flat head screwdriver to press the plug down. I found I could not press the clip down far enough to release it as it's spring loaded and on mine at least it was very "heavily" sprung.  :confused:

So in the end using a small stumpy screwdriver to press the plug down released it on the first attempt.  :happy2:

Mine popped off fine, had more trouble getting the clips off the little posts in the floor.took me about 10 mins altogether.  :wink:
 Pleased with the outcome tbh.

Do people never look around for themselves?  :confused:

There is a guy on Ebay who sells them for £50 + postage brand new and genuine. None at the moment but check back over the next week or so and I would be surprised if they weren't listed up again.

Or they are around £110 from VW dealers.
