‒ → Slightly loosen the two bolts -
arrows-.
‒ Have the second mechanic press the clutch pedal to the limit stop.
‒ Insert a feeler gauge -A-, set at
dimension -a- 3.2 ± 0.2 mm,
between contact surface of the
clutch pedal and switch plunger.
‒ Swivel switch -B- to stop towards
feeler gauge -A- and tighten the two
securing bolts -arrows- to 8 Nm. Page 1 of 15-Speed Manual Gearbox 01A 4WD4.3.2014vw-wi://rl/A.en-GB.4B-S-S01AA.wi::21141309.xml?xsl=2

â—† For the sake of clarity, the brake fluid reservoir is not shown here.
â—† To remove the upper torx bolt, the
brake fluid reservoir must be
swivelled slightly to one side.
‒ → Remove the two torx bolts -
arrows-. All models: ‒ Remove driver's storage
compartment: => General Body Assembly, Interior; Repair group 68; Storage compartments, covers; Removing driver's storage compartment
‒ → Detach clutch pedal from master
cylinder. For this purpose, unclip pin
using a screwdriver -arrow 1- and
pull out pin -arrow 2-.
Note: ◆ → During the following steps ensure
that the clutch pedal does not press
the clutch pedal switch -1- out of the
retaining clip, as this would damage
the thread of the switch, as a result of which the switch would have to be replaced.
â—† The switch may only be fitted once
to ensure that it is sufficiently tight.
‒ Unscrew retaining bolts for master
cylinder -arrow 2- and mounting
bracket -arrow 3-.
‒ Pull the complete pedal cluster
slightly towards the passenger compartment and take out the clutch master cylinder -4-. Installing Page 3 of 65-Speed Manual Gearbox 01A 4WD4.3.2014vw-wi://rl/A.en-GB.4B-S-S01AA.wi::21141312.xml?xsl=2

Installation is carried out in the reverse
order; note the following:
‒ → Insert the master cylinder so that
seal -1- and the washer lie behind
the mounting bracket and tighten
bolts -2- to 20 Nm.
‒ Press connection pipe -3- with guide
-arrow A- into recess -arrow B- on
mounting bracket. A second mechanic is required for the next
step.
‒ → Slide the complete pedal cluster
forwards towards the cross panel,
insert the bolt -arrow 3- and tighten it finger tight. The second mechanic should guide the pipe into the master cylinder starting from the plenum
chamber. Old version with internal torx socket-head bolts:

Tightening torque: 25 Nm.
‒ Reverse position of retainer 3067 when
removing.
‒ Installation position of clutch plate: spring
pack (coil springs) or marking
