Cabling all ran through it, and infront of it so there was no physical way

Looking at a few nights work - I should have it all back together before sunday hopefully.

This sounds like a complete headache and pain in the arse, which isn't necessary if vw fixed it in the first place :evil: feel for you mate, hope it's easy to put back together :wink:

After much stress, the pedal box is now fixed, and after 5 hours straight of me under the steering wheel, all my wiring is now restored (plus another like 150 crimp connectors to make it all work again!!)

So now I have a car with a new feeling clutch and a sound, alarm and central locking system that works

Success :D:D

At least its working well now. I can relate to the feeling of wanting shot of your car when all goes wrong
