Nothing new, Golf clutch pedals on some of the various models over the years have been notorious for failing with crap designs, I have had to either re weld them or fit new ones.

Not much of a problem for those who grew up with the ability to drive sans a clutch.......... You started the engine in gear and went from there. That said no way I would even try this today in modern traffic! ![]() |

![]() The way it failed though was spectacular, the pedal just vanished, and the brief touching of the brake pedal was also very dangerous. I have read accounts of Golfs getting rear ended with fatal results in traffic, and I'll bet my bottom dollar that this was the cause of the sudden loss of power! |
