julz 0 Posted February 7, 2009 Hi guys... Sorry for my first post being a technical one...so here goes. I've got a 1995 2.0ltr GTi Coraddo and the accelerator cable keeps coming unclipped from the pedal. I've tried everything to keep it on (including cable ties, glue etc) but the minute I put my foot down it pops back off again. Does anyone have any ideas as to why it keeps doing this? Am I missing a clip on the pedal arm or something?? If I buy a new accelerator cable will it come with the clip to solve all my woes?? Hope you guys can help. Cheers Julz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dec 1 Posted February 7, 2009 Welcome to the forum! :wave: The rubber (or they are sometimes made of a compressed foam) bushing at the point where the cable attaches to the accelerator pedal is probably worn. A new one will only cost a few pennies form the dealer. OR else I picked up one in GSF a few years back for about 50p This is the GSF part number you are after: 71324 ACCELERAT.PEDAL BUSH-FOAM CO Manual 0.60 And the VW part number is: 191721559 It also costs under a quid! :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
julz 0 Posted February 7, 2009 OOhh..thank you!! Just to clarify...the accelerator cable actually goes to an arm connected to the pedal..not directly to the pedal (if that makes sense)..is it still the same part?? Julz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkie 0 Posted February 7, 2009 It is the same part. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
julz 0 Posted February 7, 2009 Thank you :D GOnna get a new cable as well as mine in a little tight :D Julz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkie 0 Posted February 8, 2009 £22 from VW and £21 from GSF i would just go to the dealer, its prob tight because they are self lubricating, over time the grime from the engine bay gets in the cable and turns the grease solid, mine has and its starting to snap too, the joy.

Supercharged 2 Posted February 8, 2009 Maybe the wrong cable fitted - they changed around the 1995 chassis - get it from VW so you get the right part! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gareth_16V 0 Posted February 8, 2009 I had this problem on a Golf mk2. I replaced the pedal grommit as suggested above, but the cable still popped out. The novelty wears off quickly, especially when it happens on roundabouts!! The end of the cable is a hook-type affair, the end of the hook needs to be at 90 degrees to the end of the cable, or else it will keep popping out. A new cable should definitely sort it!

julz 0 Posted February 9, 2009 Right then...got the parts....next question...how does the bush fit in?? Does it just slide in between the two little arms where the cable slides into?? Julz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
