205 Gti Servo Removal

[martyn180 9]

After reading the haynes book of lies, the servo seems an easy job to remove. One master cylinder- no problem, small rod on braje pedal no problem, and mounting bolts about 8 of them under the sound proofing/clip - pain in the a**e but do able, then remove from the engine compartment???

 

Can it be removed with the pedals in place or do they have to be removed as well? What else neeeds to be removed to make the job easy

 

The manual seem very vague, or I undone the wrong mounting bolts as I was expecting the pedals to stay in place after removing the small brake pedal rod.

Cheers

I find it easier to remove the clutch pedal as well. Pop the spring clip off - push the clevis pin out and remove the pedal. Saves a lot of time and effort trying to wiggle both pedals out through the bulkhead.

there is only 4 bolts holding the servo on and i dont think there under the sound proofing, i think you have undone the bolts for the pedal box by mistake, unless you want the pedal box out to? if so its still easier to pull the servo off first then take the pedal box out.

you cant get anything in i found to get the 4 nuts off

 

pull the clutch cable out and take off the brake and clutch pedal

I managed to do it in situ with both pedals in, dropping the clutch pedal made it a lot easier though.

 

I used a 1/4" drive socket but can't remember if it was a shallow or deep one, wobbly 6" long extension bar too of course, and lie down head first into the footwell because you don't want to bang the doors on the narrow garage

 

have you removed the lower section of the dash ? makes it quite a bit easier

Thanks guys will drop the pedals off, and pull it through

Welshie, havent took the bottom dash out, and the car already on the wrong side of the garage to open the drivers door!

Will stuggle on
