I need the clip that holds the clutch cable on a 98 2.0 golf.have not been able to find this anywhere,do u know where i can buy one.

It has a plastic Ratchet style gear at the pedal end of the cable that has to be released. This gear automatically adjust the clutch when the pedal is pressed. Never put a jack against a clutch arm. You will probably have to disengage the cable to reset the ratchet gear. Don't strip the teeth on the gear

dealer only for the clip iam afraid ,also these cables are auto adjusting ,in the middle of the cable is a spring loaded afair that needs compressing and tieing in with a length or thick fence wire .refit it all tne release the wire tie .

Are you referring to the clutch pedal? If so you may need to readjust the clutch cable. You do this by turning the clutch cable in a tightening direction while holding the lower nut that is also on the clutch cable. Try loosening it up and see if that brings the pedal back.

If you're finding it difficult to service/repair your car, get one of those online manuals. You'll not have to wait for others to answer, or rely on mechanics and all. Plus i
know a website that has very good manuals online, without expiry i.e. for lifetime. www.reliable-store.com

1-disconnect battery. 2- remove all lower dash plastic panels. 3- disconnect all plugs on steering coloumn. 4- remove shear bolts on steering coloumn, easy with a long 8" sharp chisel (get 2 x new shear bolts £0.50p each). 5-loosen & remove bolt at steering rack in drivers footwell, mark position of spline before removing this makes it east to refit (tipex). 6- pull steering coloumn out towards you & it will slide off the bush quite easy. 7- loosen clutch cable adjustment & remove cable nipple at pedal. 8-remove clutch pedal. 9- pull brake pedal out of plastic insert, this will break there is no way to remove this without breaking the plastic clip. get a new brake pedal clip insert for a Mk 3 golf £4 its the same (dont let VW sell you a new pedal) 10- remove 5 x nuts holding pedal box to bulkhead/brake servo. 11- cut 2 x cable ties holding throttle wiring & disconnetc plug above heater on drivers side. 12- push/pull brake servo slightly out of bulk head. 13- remove pedal box.
Cause of the problem- The clutch bracket is only held to the pedal box with 2 x spot welds & a 10mm tack on the top corner.
Repair- Fully Weld the clutch bracket to the pedal box. Great repair.
refitting reverse of above.
Duration around 6/8 hours Less if you get the spare parts before you start.
I wasted time trying to remove the brake pedal without breaking the clip impossible to do even with theVW tool. £4 on a new clip is well worth it.

Under the dash on top of the clutch pedal there will be a retainer clip holding the cable, remove that then a similar clip on the gearbox, you will have to undo a cable holder bracket to remove the cable, the cable will also have a gromet in the firewall that needs to be positioned correctly on assembly, adjust the cable accordingly with the adjuster on the gearbox once installed, good luck drive safely

its the cable.or the cable clip at the clutch bell housing end..thats the only thing that would cause the pedal to drop.......takes about an hour to change, and i dont think they are too expensive.....

the clip hpld the clutch cable to the top of the peddle time to go under the dash let me know post on fixya

where is the clip at on the car? do you have a clutch cable or is it hydraulic? If it is a cable and the clip is on the outside the passenger compartment replace the clip and adjust the play in the cable there should be about a 1/4" play. If it is and self adjusting when you need to replace the cable.

sounds like your regulator is shot. you can buy a new one from the dealer or an after market repair kit like this... as far as the route the cable takes, here is a pic. of a factory regulator. if you need more info. post back and i'll see if i can help.`
