Vibrating accelerator pedal

Post by taspland » Wed May 14, 2014 9:08 am

Hey has anyone had this issue where the accelerator pedal vibrates when driving, and everytime you go over a bump you feel if through the pedal?

it's very annoying

many thanks
Tom

Very common problem - and no risk or damage implied.

Unit 20 can do you a replacement bush kit to fix, or MRC have a way of cable tieing the pedal box to eliminate it too.

Spoke to Unit 20 and they will only supply and fit, which is understandable, but they are around 4 hours drive away, so i guess i'll speak to Mrc, unless anyone has a picture of how it is zip tied and i can just do it :)

If you have a look at the pedal box I think you could work out where they cable tie. Not had it done on mine, but think it's the brake pedal.

Well I have found someone who has had it done, I'll look at the pedals and pedal box and see what's been done and post a pic and see if I can do it

But why do you need to tie them when they are already in the lotion pit? Surely the lotiion allows easy slipping out of said ties?

A child? Maddy likes to think of herself as a young woman now. Besides, I'm not worried about her, it's the other 200 that are causing me issues...
