    Has anyone fitted a DBW pedal to thier Corrado? I can't seem to find ant info, everything that comes up on a search appears to be mk2 Golf related. I'm just worried about how close the fusebox is to the std pedal and if there is actually room to fit the mk4 DBW pedal?

    Well, we use corrado pedal boxes in MK2 so the information you want is out there, depending on how you wanna do it.
    Because of the throttle pedal setup in a corrado, you have 2 options.
    1. Leave pedal as is and use a polo pedal potentiometer, which is a unit connected to original pedal and mounted on pedal box, this requires removal of pedal box and fabrication.
    2. Remove corrado pedal and mount MK4 pedal on again, a fabricated mounting plate!
    Hope this helps.

    I have seen a couple people mount the remote style pedal actuator in the scuttle somewhere and hook up the old accelerator cable to it with a bike cable end on it, so thats an option :thumbup:

    I've mounted the mk4 Golf pedal to the Corrado pedalbox, it's going to be tight getting the fuse box back in there but I reckon it will go, might have to manipulate the brackets a little.
