Default Pedals too high

Hi, I'm new here so I'm not sure I'm in the right spot for posting my question. However, I got a question: I have a 2000 A4 2.8 and I love it except that the pedals are extremely high (especially the clutch and the break). Is there a way to adjust them?
Thanks a lot for your help

You have two choices:

Either lose the platform shoes


Or slide the seat back.

The answer is no. I was just trying to say it in a fun way. "No" can be kind of boring if you let it.

Hmm, I have never heard anyone complain about the pedals before. They seem to fit me well and I never really thought about them being out of place.

Speaking of adjusting the seat (do all Audis have power drivers seat?), you do know that you have a lot of adjustments right? It goes up, down, back, forth, tilts backrest, tilts bottom portion of seat, plus lumbar etc etc etc. If the pedals don't seem quite right, you should be able to do a lot with the seat to help that. You may have the bottom portion (that your butt actually sits on) tilted toolow making the pedals seem too close. Raising the whole seat up some may help too. I am sure you can figure it out, I am just reminding you that your seat has like 4,000 different adjustments. One of them should work to help the pedals be in a better spot for you.


Oh and the steering wheel telescopes (in and out) and moves up and down as well. Set your seat for the pedals and then telescope the steering wheel to the right spot. If you set the seat to the steering wheel that could be why the pedals seem to be in a weird location.

Maybe his legs are short like mine...ill admit it im short i stand a whopping 5'5" and i have the seat almost all the way forward and all the way up...

if your pedals seem to high try that, i thought similar thoughts before i tried putting the seat all the way up in the back and the front and it fixed my problem...it also helps being eyelevel with my dad whos 6'5"
