I'm hoping someone can tell me the answer to this.
Isn't there suppose to be some kind of cover between the clutch pedal and the steering column?
When I press the clutch my foot touches the steering column. When I'm trying to reverse up my drive it's a nightmare, feathering the throttle & clutch I can feel the column rotating under my toes.
& yes, I've got size 10.5 feet so I'm not the most dainty of things.
I noticed on the mk6 (6.5?) that there is a fair amount of room behind the clutch pedal fully depressed and the steering column.

Re: Clutch & Steering Column
ok. I've been into the dealership. Apparently there is no cover, though there are clips for it, as far as we can tell there was once a cover and they are no-longer fitted, not even listed as a part.
When I get a little time I'll see if I can put something together (knowing me massively over engineered)

Re: Clutch & Steering Column
That does look close, does the pedal actually touch it?

Re: Clutch & Steering Column
I have the same problem, but so far, am living with it
Its odd that they didnt think to cover it up though

Re: Clutch & Steering Column
The pedal doesnt catch it your foot which can sometimes catch, I used to catch it when I first got the car but now I think ive adjusted my foot position
