2001 POLO 1.4 PLAYA

Post by zombiepolo01 »

HI

I need advice please.

My Polo's pedal assembly bracket has broken in half.

Where will I be able to get something like that.

VW no longer and Goldwagen also no luck.
I am based in Witbank Mpumalanga.

Remove from car.
Weld - add a gusset where it broke
reinstall in car
done for the life of the car.

you'll struggle to get new parts. This has been a problem already for many years on them.
We have fixed a lot of them that way.
So either the welding was not done right or the gusset was not done right.
has it broken next to the welding?.Could be that they cooled it with water after which you should not do.
