[s-cars] go pedal broken

[Young, Steve]

Lee...

I have done this twice.  Pedal assy is/was about $85 from the dealer.  Don't
know if it is available aftermarket.  If memory serves, two clips, one each
side of the pivot point for the assy, then one clip at the top for the
throttle cable, and you're done.  You will have to remove the two under dash
panels for access, but once that's done, the swap takes literally 5 minutes.
Good luck.

The gas pedal on my wife's '96 A6 came apart this weekend...I think it was
due to my 16YO son's lead foot :)

Wonder where he gets that!

Anyway, I know some of you have installed a hinge on the assembly....has
anyone actually installed a new pedal?

If so, what's the cost of the assembly and how does it come off the post?

I'm learning to ask these things in advance...this weekend I swapped out the
leveling sensor on the rear suspension of my '99 A6. This little device
tells the Xenon lamps to reaim. It was mounted with 2 3 mm allen bolts. The
first one was easy to get to, the second was largely blocked by a suspension
member. After spending almost an hour trying (unsuccessfully) to fabricate a
short 3mm allen key to get to that second bolt, I found the two 10mm bolts
on the other side of the suspension member that held the bracket on. 1
minute later the bracket was in my hand and the sensor was free.

Doh.
