how to change accelerator cable
« 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?

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