Bigjobbo 0 Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 and it seems it can be quite a common problem. Vertical movement on the column, not the adjuster. Couldn't find an ansmer to my problem though.I got my ed under the dash today, and saw that the pedal box pin, looks to run through the column, with one or two white placcy bushes either side. The play is definately coming from there.Has anyone had experience of changing these, as it looks like a dash out job to me, because the pin has to be removed????Help very much appreciated Link to post Share on other sites
adam_christie 0 Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Right, it's a safety bush at the bottom of the steering column which dislocates when your face/chest smashes into the steering wheel in a head on collision. At least it is on a MK2. Only problem is that the bolt that holds it in place is made from crap stretchy material and will either snap on impact or when you loosen it then tighten it again to relocate the bush. I take it there's quite a lot of movement? I recommend taking it to VW or someone reputable to get a replacement bolt as it's a safety feature and could have consequences if you have an accident..........Don't mean to scare you but I'd rather be on the safe side!!Ad Link to post Share on other sites
