I just went from owning an 84 GLI (which I broke) to this 88 GLI with
226,000 miles. I am impressed so far. My main complaint is that the brake/clutch pedal assembly shifts around when I step on either pedal. It seems like a flimsy setup compared to the A1 design.I looked at it today with the help of a friend, and observed the following: 1) The bushings and rods that pass through the assembly appear to be fine; 2) the hydraulic brake cylinder assembly moves a little when the pedals are moved; 3) all the attachment bolts for the pedal assembly and brake cylinder appear to be firmly snugged. Having looked at it, I'm a little less worried about it being structurally sound. However, I drive hard and I can tell that this condition affects the quality of clutch action. It tasks me.
What the heck is going on? Has anyone else ever had this problem? How do I fix it?
Thanks
