Accelerator Pedal Rubber!

I occasionally see these advertised on Ebay:-

and I was wondering - how many of you actually have rubber on your original accelerators? I've had two Corrados and my mate has had two Passats and the pedal has always been that lovely steely effect!

B3 and B4 Passats have them...

Bojmobile, i bought one of those.. fitted like a glove. I hated seeing those rusty/muddy pedals. Wanted TT ones, but found those a little expensive.

Irrc the clutch and brake should have one to pass the MOT. However, if your mot tester actually looks is another thing :lol:

Eh?

 

Anyway - yeah - none of the Corrado's i've owned or driven have ever had accelerator pedal rubbers on them! I'm sure they never had them from the factory..

The brake pedal at least should have one. I may venture out at the weekend and see how much a set of TT pedals are from the stealers.....seen them on fleabay, but want to check that I cant get them cheaper at source :wink:

i've read some where that UK spec corrados and mk2 golfs ect do not have the accelerator pedal rubber from factory, but german ones do. Though I can hold my hand up and say i brought one of the 'mega rare' one's off ebay for about £8, then just out of curiosity i went to the dealers to check if they could get them and.....£3 (don't i feel silly?!)

[Supercharged 2]

Yep, it's a mk1 part - never fitted to any Corrado

Retails at £3.94 + vat but with discount I paid about £2.50+vat

my valver had the accelerator rubber still on it when i bought the car a year ago so had survived 15 years.

i threw it in the bin though as its just a piece of plastic crap, now have TT pedals.

So they NEVER came with accelerator pedal rubber? That's a bit weird! Any reson?

[cymru-corrado 0]

if they never had one standard then a prevoius owner must have got one for mine.

I replaced all the pedal rubbers recently and threw a throttle one on aswell. Makes the footwell look so much tidier!

 

My clutch and brake pedals felt mushy and horrible because the rubbers had split and looked ready to fall off. Only about £12 for the whole lot.

 

Makes me laugh how car buying experts tell you to look at the condition of the pedal rubbers and steering wheel to guage the real mileage, but you can replace them all for next to nothing and make the car look like it's done 10 miles :-)
