Default erst s2 mk5 pedal conversion

ive just recently taken my rs to my local ford dealer to have a new clutch cable fitted,i hav'nt had the car that long and was told that it had had a mk5 pedal conversion carried out on it..my problem is that the techies at the garage seem to be finding it difficult to find out which cable it requires...i think they've ordered a total of 4 wrong ones so far..
any help would be much appreciated,
cheeRS.

The Mk5 conversion still uses the S2 clutch cable.

Here is the guide for the conversion.....

Not that it's relevant to this as your problem is with the cable.

thanks again

Piss easy....although fiddly lying on your back under the dash. Parts are about £35 and its well worth it imo!!

Ok cool I've bought a rst with this conversion but its using a yellow quadrant but does not have the 10 teeth cut of it so therefore it sits higher than the brake pedal. So i was hoping i could just cut the 10 teeth of the yellow one.

Default mk5 clutch pedal

I have just done mine and what a pain it is getting the last circlip back on the pedal when refitting, it fell on my face bout 100 times but its there now and hopefully it stays. Yeah it uses a standard clutch cable however i was told by ford that they do not make an a.b.s clutch cable no more and i think the non a.b.s one is a bit shorter. So i just removed the a.b.s
