G60radoboi 10 Posted February 22, 2013 Not sure if it is normal but my accellerator pedal is very stiff. It is so stiff I can't even drive at a constant speed as it keeps accellerating when I push the throttle. I think it's the cable as there seems to be a lot of grease on the manifold, so I have bought a new cable which should hopefully sort the issue. Could it potentially be something else just so I am prepared for that eventuality. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted February 22, 2013 Yep. More than likely the cable. Be sure not to grease or oil the new one as they are self lubricating, adding anything tends to make them sticky. Neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60radoboi 10 Posted February 22, 2013 Thanks Riley, I am betting that is what was done by the previous owner. Thank goodness new cable is only £13.00 for me from TPS lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yega 10 Posted February 25, 2013 You got a part number for this cable mate? My pedal is also very stiff, though I am used a Mk5 Golf pedal which comes off the floor and is very smooth, so completely different feel to it. I'm gonna get into another Corrado at the weekend and see what its like compared to mine, but just in case it'd be good to know what part it is. Is it hard to change it?

Best to ask VW / TPS with your reg as there are a couple of different ones on the G60... Drive by wire will feel different but if the G60 ones feels much heavier then there is a problem somewhere Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tony_ack 0 Posted February 25, 2013 I've had a stiff pedal before in a MK2 Golf - if the cable doesn't fix it, then a bit of grease on where the pedal pivots will. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60radoboi 10 Posted February 25, 2013 Yeah YEGA, I don't have a G60 so not sure if the part numbers will be different, the part number for mine anyway is 1H0721555M but as mentioned, please give VW/TPS your reg number and they will confirm that it is the same or not.

Yega 10 Posted February 25, 2013 Awesome, cheers guys. Like I said, it could be just me not being used to old style pedals, but without checking against another car I won't know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yega 10 Posted February 28, 2013 During the service yesterday my accelerator cable was removed and turns out there is not much lubrication going on inside so it will be getting replaced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
