Gathering Parts For The 1.8T Pink Floyd Golf 3! ( Mk3 Pedal Box Removal )

Since the pink floyd golf is my first automatic golf we have to get the proper pedals to swap into it to go along with the 1.8t swap that we are starting soon. Along with the pedals I was also able to get another gas tank that doesnt have a hole in it for the car as well.

Just did my motor mounts in my GLI in about 4 hours (not bad for jackstands in driveway n first time) long story short love watching this channel because it keeps me motivated to work on my own VW. Thanks man

Those idling issues with the 1.6 is just a classic case of a vacuum leak on the intake side. Had the same issue on a car of mine where it was idling really choppy like it had a big cam but was fine under normal driving conditions because the engine was pulling enough vacuum.

[@bearlid7176]

Much easier to pull the whole steering column not just the shaft out of the tube. Then the whole pedal cluster comes out as one unit really easy.

[@markotomic6008]

You can set mileage on new dash.I have done that when i have installed MFA

[@ZukosTruckRepair]

Maybe check the injectors, diesel engines usually idle and smoke like that when you have a bad injector. 👋 Love your content.

I see Pink Floyd, I click, I see cars, specifically VW, I click. I see Pink Floyd and cars combined I definitely click.

[@kooshm]

those pedal boxes are a real pain to remove! when I pulled mines from a parts car lucky it was already half torn to bits. one thing to note is the steering column (the actual tube itself, not the shaft piece you removed) has a hook on the end that goes over the white plastic piece the pedals rod goes through. that's why once you removed the rod and the plastic piece it all came out a lot easier! you need to remove the 2 snap head bolts (which are also a real pain to remove) on the dash bar and you can remove the steering column and shaft as one piece!

[@mr4toes]

thats crazy been looking for a video about the pedal assembly for when I go to the junkyard

[@piasprojects]

I’m pumped to see this project rolling! Air ride is a very good move for a cruiser!!

[@charltonmoore452]

Great compromise! The Koni on the GTI is the move! Since the Pink Floyd is a wild card build, the bags can meet your car show, car club desires. If you had the ability to build a car for your brother, it seems like he would be into it after your Georgia trip. IDK, I would if I could for my brother.

[@andrewcampbell1587]

Try to get a cabrio to be shipped to the USA before your wife tour is up brother

[@kylestumpo7372]

Man getting rolling on this one for sure! Seems like you're already at warp speed. Car is going to be sick when it's all finished.

[@TypeErrorDev]

Man, you have everything over there! Haha craziness! I gotta get on your level my guy!

[@RiemersGarage04]

hey the engines of the vw 1.4 16v and 1.6 16v have problems with tilting of the pistons and that causes your valves to bend so if that happens your block will consume more oil so here's this info. I own a polo 6n2 1.4 16v that broke last Wednesday because the tensioner of the car got stuck and the timing went wrong so with me 8 of the 16 valves are bent so soon another engine will be spooned in and learn a lot from your videos so keep it up greetings from holland 🇱🇺

[@KyleAndersonSkates]

man I cant wait to get a mk3 and start tinkering. I finally finished (and uploaded) my AVF video and realized it's mostly mk3s haha

[@Mk3Smith]

That’s how mine was as well🤷🏼‍♀️😂

[@davidcupeles3112]

Another project on the way bro can’t wait to see this one on air ride like your saying wonder what wheels you going to put on her

[@mrwhite292]

When you return home, you can set up your own VW parts business you have so much! Peace!

[@ag.1237]

I dig the content Chris, I appreciate the videos man !

[@bizob1]

I've seen cleaning the MAF connector sometimes resolves the rough idle.

[@rogercarty1160]

Try the idle control valve on your wagon. I've got a 2000 1.6 audi a3 and it did the same sort of thing

[@michaelreimer7943]

My dads 1.6 Caddy had the same problem it was just a vacuum leak. btw love your content!! keep goin

[@JustinVerlander35]

You have a vacuum leak somewhere in your crank case ventilation system. Vacuum leaks increase crankcase pressure which in turn increases oil consumption. Find someone you know with a smoke machine or make one and smoke your intake.

[@valentinneagu9933]

Try to clean egr pipe,my car has doing the same thing and after I clean that pipe it works like usual.

[@Mk3Smith]

It has a brand new one I replaced not too long ago so I sure hope it’s not that lol

[@matteo1298]

​@@Mk3Smith It might be also dirty throttle body. Look at this kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoubZY2Gh6eaapY What's more, this 1.6 16v engines are sensitive to non-original spare parts. Lots of people reports that EGR just doesn't work properly after replacing for non-oem part. The same applies to Oxygen Sensor.

[@arnoldkul3827]

@@Mk3Smith Use only the OEM brands like Pierburg

[@michaelhart5909]

I got the pedal box out with the pedals, without taking the entire dash out 😆 single most frustrating thing Ive ever done

[@PieterKuijk]

Good to see the pink floyd project taking off now! I don't you need a hydro clutch for the 1.8t? So much easier if you source a vr or 16v pedal box. Guess it saves work later on.

[@Mk3Smith]

Yup I’ll be using the hydraulic clutch conversion from fabless just like I used for the savoy and running the matching slave cylinder on the trans 👍🏼

[@ergz-vr6]

Love the content Christian bro. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@greegmoore466]

Ojala en Mexico hubiese carros en desguace tan bien conservados como esos aquí solamente los encuentras en pedazos y en pésimas condiciones

[@simphiwesimba9577]

Notification squad reporting for duty yet again!!!😌

[@ondrejmusil4475]

Same thing with the trunk privacy cover happened to me. I took it apart and found that it gave up internally. Could not be fixed so you probably need to source a new one.

[@Mk3Smith]

Yup I pulled mine apart last night and it had broken on both ends sadly so I’ll need to find a new one now

[@Dlugi7cm]

10:15 my friend had the same issue in his passat b5 1.6, it turned out, that he had a leak in the intake tubing, maybe try checking this stuff

[@craighughes4023]

I think there is a spray you can buy that helps to find a vacleak am sure its not dead yet

[@nathanlosper6698]

The whole kit🙏

Sheesss again a nice vid 👍 yo go great whit your content 👌

[@markotomic6008]

Omg,i would like so much to have a VW junkyard near my house

[@silven412]

if you pull the 1.6 16v you should replace it with another 1.6 16v but turbo it! i've seen a few on youtube and they seem to handle it great and it's a really unique thing to do, i believe you actually talked about doing this at some point?

Hey Christian are you keeping the all plastic bumpers on the Pink Floyd or are you putting colour matched one's on it.

[@Mk3Smith]

I have some smooth top bumpers I’ll paint match 👍🏼

[@suciohernandez936]

Do the pedals for the new engine work Good I heard that the trans request for a different pedal set up just a question I'm in the process of doing se hing similar so I'm interested in know in go my set up

I love your jetty🌍✌♥️

[@WiresFanDrew]

Wwwhhhhoooooooooooooooo - 3rd it is ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jasonamiles]

You pulled the wrong bolts for the steering column. If you took out the 2 security bolts and pulled the full column not just the shaft the pedal cluster comes right out

[@Mk3Smith]

Ah I see! Never saw anyone talk about those bolts so I didn’t even realize. Now I know lol
