does anyone know if the recall for cracked pedal boxes was for the gti only or all mk5's?? has anyone changed one, do you need to take the steering rack off???

My car was 3 years and 5ish months old
Pedal Box gubbed: marched into VW and demanded they fixed it - as i have the same pedal box as the GTi and you (vw) are recalling the GTi
After a few managers - i got my way
Dam Right - There Fault they Pay (They wanted 400 ood quid to fix it - ti*s)

They just recalled the GTIs unfortunately as they was more than their fair share of them failing...however if other MkVs are beginning to experience the same problem then I would suggest each of you contact VW direct and get yourselves noticed, once there is a majority of you then they will most likely have to do something about it.

they wouldnt fix mine, said it was waer and tear, wrote a letter to them saying I wasnt happy but they sent one back saying they cant do anything and if I wanted it fixed it would be babout 400. took it to my local garage he welded a metal plate to the bulkhead and fixed it for £180

I still don't know what the exact problem is? Mine creaks like hell, but I have eyeballed it for cracks and stuff and it looks fine. What should I be looking for?
I finally thought I'd traced the creak to the clutch release lever, as such I will live with it until my clutch bites the dust (pun intended)
