Toby - no Audi TT pedals for your driver's footwell? Would go nicely with the rest of your smart interior!

See, nice. Shiny. Grippy too unlike some Halfrauds Ripspeed bits of tat. And a direct swapover. Go on, you know you want to.

How do you fit them Si, I might have to invest in a set. And they're OEM Audi TT ones yeah?

Si_GTi · Post by **Si_GTi** » Wed Feb 22, 2006 10:09 pm

Yup, they're the OEM Audi TT pedals. Ask VAGParts for RHD clutch and brake pedals, LHD gas (it's slightly shorter and a better fit), I think the whole lot comes to around Â£30. Sorry Tobes I'm keeping mine! But for just Â£30 you can't go wrong!

EDIT: to fit, just whip off the old ones (rubber gas pedal unclips) and fix on the new ones. Use a small screwdriver or similar tool to carefully edge the rubbers onto the actual pedals, you'll see that the Audi pedals are exactly the same fitment on brake and clutch, the Audi gas pedal might want a bit of araldite to stay in place, however mine isn't glued on and its stays right where it is! Be prepared to get some slightly bruised knuckles and do a good bit of swearing when it comes to fitting the clutch pedal, I found it the hardest of the three just because of where it is, being the furthest away to reach!

I'll see if I can dig out some part numbers.

Saved me starting a new thread Si... Been meaning to get this done but never get round to it... Ofcourse Im assuming its the same process for the mk4... anyways... cheers...Nice one!

Si_GTi · Post by **Si_GTi** » Wed Feb 22, 2006 11:48 pm

Yup, should be the same process for the mk4 6n, I think it shares the same pedal design

Si - How come the LHD accellerator pedal is a better fit than the RHD 1 on a RHD car?

I understand that the LHD gas pedal is shorter in length by a couple of centimetres, so provides a more snug fit. I've not tried an RHD item. If you ask VAGparts, they will usually offer you the option of swapping the gas pedal if you feel it doesn't fit well enough, but the generally accepted norm is for an LHD gas pedal.

The standard plastic gas pedal clips into place, but the replacement alloy one fits like the brake and clutch pedals by simply fitting over the top. As it's not a perfect fit (the original plastic cover is tapered in shape, the new alloy pedal doesn't taper) but it does the job just fine. I'll get a pic shortly to better demonstrate what I'm trying to explain!

Hey Ben, your car looks much nicer with the lowering and debadging now

have you thought about changing the exhaust for a hidden one?
