I'm fairly sure the answer is Corrado, but can anyone confirm? Chatting at the weekend, the Passat one needs a small modification to line up with the Mk2 bodyshell brackets?
g60 golf/Corrado/Passat LH are the same Corrado/Passat are the same RH RH part number is 358721111C Passat 92to93 Passat syncro 90to93 corrado 89to95
Any reason for doing that over using the Seat clutch cable mechanism? I use it, it saves bashing the bulkhead, although you will probably lose the reverse light on the O2J.
Clutch cable is a breakage risk, and the hydraulic option is easier on the leg Corrado/Passat is the option you want Chris
note there are 2 pedal boxes based on age, and clutch master cylinder differs depending on which one you get. but both will fit fine

I tried doing mine with a Mk3 and Corrado pedal box one , but the corrado one still had one bracket out of alignment and ideally could have done with the bracket chopped off and moved across 30mm or so. Had a known this i would have just used a passat item out my local cheap breakers instead of paying silly ebay prices for one with the wrong master cylinder Mk3 pedal box is a not a very good fit but can be used I used to use the Seat clutch cable mechanism for abou 5 years and that worked fine , no problems If you doing a turbo install going hydraulic gives more pipework near the turbo so not ideal really and i had to make up a large heat shield to stop the radiated heat. After i did mine i was 50/50 as to if it was worth doing TBH , not that keen on beating the bulkhead either, i do have a AP racing clutch to fit so it may come into its own soon , but for now the VR clutch is fine its not really much better, But then again never need to change the cable and its smoother more linear pedal feel
Yeah im fitting my corrado one at the moment, and it seems one braket is out, The servo is such a squeeze on the turrent aswell.
I run the Seat clutch cable, it's no heavier than standard, and I have a paddle clutch. Master cylinders also need replacing. Been there, done that on the Mk4.
So the upshot appears to be that both Corrado or Passat pedal boxes need the bracket adjusting to fit in the Mk2?
Maybe on an off chance, ibiza, cordoba or toledo TDI pedal boxes are also hydro clutch. Although probably mk3 style.
@ RUBJONNY Do you know if the pre changeover clutch master cylinder be mated to the post changeover clutch pedal? E.g. 358 721 401 to 3A2 721 315?
I think what you have to do is change the pedal as well, then you can use the master cylinder to match it
Thank you Sir. Do you know if the fixing methods are different between the 'early' and 'late' type cylinder and pedal. The reason I ask is that I bought an 'early' ATE cylinder but the clutch pedal on my early pedalbox has been butchered at some point in it's life. Cowboy repair I think. I want to get a replacement new pedal but I am now concerned that the 'late' type pedal will be incompatible with my 'early' type new cylinder. Any input or photos of the 'late' pedal? Have a feeling I will have to trawl the breakers for an early one; Unless someone on here has a spare one going
I think I may have answered my own question here. The 'early' type utilises a rose type joint between the cylinder and pedal and the 'late' type used a square type plastic clip used in on the Mk3 Golf era hydraulic clutch pedal. So not compatible! [:^(] Therefore for availability of spare parts I would recommend using the 'late' type square plastic clip pedalbox.
yeah from what ive read the early attachment is different this is why the pedal needs change, the later ones use same mc as mk3 golf (or at least mk3 one fits)
