Title: how to change accelerator cable
Post by: paultownsend on 25 July 2012, 17:22

the throttle cable on my AGU is on its final adjustment, and its worn in places after rubbing.

amazingly it was £15 from VW TPS with club discount!

but looking at how it works, i cant for the life of me figure out how to change it. My haynes has gone missing, are there any guides around?

 :cool:

TBH I've only ever looked at where it goes into the bulkhead and wondered how you get to it inside the car...
