Mick's mk4 1.6 to 1.8t conversion

[Stan]

Cable is fine, should be a hole high on passenger side of firewall, cable attaches to the top of the pedal lever there, then out and across to the throttle body
Having a cable also means it's not too hard to run aftermarket cruise control, as it actuates the cable: my next project

Stan, the cable runs behind the heater box I have to pull it out to run the cable.. It's a big job

[Stan]

you using the accelerator pedal from the 1.6? On mine the extension of the pedal goes all the way to the top of the firewall and if you prop the pedal in the fully out position is just about touches where the hole in the firewall is - simply clip the cable in that end (simple slotted hole in the top of the pedal extension) and run around to the throttle body.

If you can reach the top of you pedal from inside the car (if yours is different) simply feed the cable through until you can reach it and attach it..... go in through the firewall from the engine bay side and feed it down anywhere pretty much - way easier than feeding it out from inside the cabin.

Hook it up. test that you arnt getting any trouble from other cables etc from behind the dash...

hope it goes well mate - you are pretty much there now

After our chat last night the only option is to put in the gti accelerator pedal. Love the engine recording, sounds like a spitfire !

Thinking about putting a bora front on now they look awesome

[Stan]

lol, just get yours on the road first mate!

How did the pedal swap go?

[Clarkee_vw]

Not good mate. There's no hold in the firewall, no brackets on the inside of the firewall and the whole heater box needs to come out.. Bigger job then the engine swap :/

[Stan]

mmm... read this thread - coons88 did a mk4 dash into a mk3, so i would guess there is not much he wouldn't know. looks like it has a 1.8t in it as well.

I'd check the pics and perhaps send him a pm:
