literally had to rip the brake pedal off the booster ball seated thingy as i couldnt get behind pedal with anything on my 2005 vw lupo but this video helped reassure me that i wasnt gonna break anything besides the plastic bracket it seats in so thank you mate i wouldve been lost without you. I hate pedal boxes now just so everyone knows ahahhahaah. lupo 1.8t conversion is back on track
Yeah, fu'**'ing easy, when you have the whole engine out! I'll add a small tip, please pin this!! First, thank for the tip on removing the switch. Crucial. When that is done, tie a jack strap from the pedal, over the seat and back, secure it in the tow hook or someplace. Put A LOT of strain on the strap, and pry the two plastic fingers to the side, from inside the car, one at a time. When the last one goes, you'll feel it. You will need a good mirror and a light source.
@@rallemikken6936 a strap? Maybe you missed the point of getting a screwdriver in there. Imo if you can't do it the way I showed, buy or make the VAG tool. Sounds like yours was a little bit harder than most. I suspect that the white plastic in there gets harder over time. Also I did say it was easy to show this with the car stripped! Thanks for watching.
@@timsgarage1356 I used a screwdriver, a short one, but from inside the car. I didn't take out the engine, steering column and everything else..... The strap was for putting pull on the pedal. Just enough travel. But the brake switch had to be taken out. With the mirror, flashlight and the screwdriver, I didn't have hands enough to pull the pedal backwards. Pretty crampded.
@@jauh25 well, seeing as the OEM one is good for about 100 to 120k and the timming service is about the same, its NOT a problem. If you are doing proper service to those cars, those items are NOT a problem, the 955 sure had its share but IMO VERY easy to work with. The coolant 3 pipe is... yea 1st SUV ever made by a luxury sports car was BOUND to have issues.

its probably not good for the booster but if your doing this that means your replacing the booster or dont care!
Thanks
were you able to fit the clip without having to take the pedal box out? just had my pedal box out and the new clip I fitted snapped :/
Thnx I greatly appreciated the detailed explanation working on one as we speak couldn’t figure out how it clipped in there❤😂
Awesome job. A screwdriver and pulling on the pedal had it unhooked in 3 minutes.
Buen video e estado buscando como sacarlo y por mas que lo intentaba no podia pero gracias a este video podre completar mi trabajo
Wish I would have seen this video when I had my 2.5 out when I was rebuilding it lol. I got the special tool instead.
Do you know if there’s a spring on the peddle too bring it back
My brake pedal does not come back up but all my brakes work sound
no spring
your brake booster has a spring internally that pushed things back up but if you have an issue with the booster, that could cause that symptom.

Do you have to remove the dashboard though
Seriously? NO! BUT I DID, not for this job,,, clearly i had other priorities!
Broooooo big thanks to you
I have the special tool for it and it’s still a pain lol
i do believe i said, it would be easier, not easy. lol
Definitely a RPITA
👍👍
dude sounds like bert kerischer
no, not even close
This system is absolute garbage lol I hate VW for this 😂
There are quite a few "this is BS" from VW on these and many other cars. HONESTLY the cayenne 955 we have has very few of those at all.
@@timsgarage1356 like the starter on the cayenne? Lmao been there done that 😂
