Scirocco Gas Pedal Bushing |
After years of use, the gas
pedal/throttle cable bushing wears, and in many cases, totally disintegrates. The
cable will frequently become disconnected and/or there will be a lot of play in the pedal.
The next time you're shopping for parts, buy a new bushing and replace the old one! Be sure to buy the A2 (1985-1992) bushing. It is hard rubber and will last
longer than the early foam style. |

In this picture, the gas pedal
bushing is missing and a wire tire was used to temporarily hold the throttle cable in
place. |
|
The new bushing is pressed in
place from right to left. The throttle cable end is inserted from the left. Pressure
from the throttle cable should pull the bushing tighter, instead of pulling the bushing
out of the pedal. |
