Fly by Wire - mk2

im planning on using the cable clutch mechanism when fitting the 02A gearbox with the 20v turbo lump so i don't need the hydraulic system.

Can i modify my mk2 pedal box to accept the fly-by-wire throttle as im using the OE engine management? (audi)

thanx

Go to bed!!!

 

just realised the time!!

i guess i am kinda sleepy now you mention it...

...so you don't know about this fly by wire thing?

 

There was a thread about this not long ago.........

 

good thing the search is working then..... i take it the admin members know its broken?

 

just cut off the throttle pedal and weld a bracket on for the fly bit.worked for me

so i still actually use the mk2 pedal box?

 

you will need a hydraulic pedal box from a passat or corado

 

why do i need the hydraulic pedal box if im using cable clutch?

won't the fly by wire work on the mk2 pedal box?

 

Why use that crappy cable clutch linkage thing??

Jus do it properly and fit the hydraulic clutch, the lightness and smoothness of the clutch goes a wee bit to make up for the crapness of the cable change

 

does it really make that much of a difference?

 

find a raddo thats being broke,pinch the pedal box,sort out the hole for the hydraulic clutch etc and bobs etc etc etc

 

Well the cable adapter thing is clearly a cost/design compromise.

If cable were so good how come all the new cars have hydraulic clutch's??


You dont even need a raddo for one - any old passat, they are so simple to get why compromise on it.....

 

It is NOT broken. Read the sticky I recently posted in the General Chat section.

 

You can use a cable if you use the cable and quadrant from a SEAT with the 02A

 

That's all I did - Use a Passat peddlebox and welded the bracket to the side of it to bolt the FBW throttle peddle.





I went for the hydraulic clutch option. As Andy said the cable operated clutch option on the 02A is less than highly rated although is can be done using early Passat or SEAT parts I believe.

so you used a passat pedal box Mr Seizure sir for hydraulic clutch?

its just that you have said you used a mk2 pedal box.

ps: i think i will use the hydraulic option, thanx lads!! does the 22mm master cyclinder come with an output for the clutch?

the fluid supply comes from the resv bottle

 

As i told him in another thread

 

Oops, that was a typo. Yes, I'm using a Passat peddle box.
