ausgolfer 0 Posted January 15, 2014 Hey guys. Typing this while waiting for a tow truck on the side of the road. The plastic end where the throttle connects to the accelerator cable has snapped. My question is can I unbolt the top half moon plate and replace it with say a mk2 golf one? Efi or Kjet? I know tough to say without pictures. Any help would be great.

g0ldf1ng3r 13 Posted January 15, 2014 Hello m8 Is this on your rado? Do you mean the cable has disconnected from the throttle pedal itself? If yes i would imagine as long as there is a sturdy connection reinstated between the 2 you might be ok as a temp fix. I hope the aussie recovery service hurries :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ausgolfer 0 Posted January 15, 2014 haha, am home safe with corrado parked up. Got a picture of the offending part. Can see it's snapped where I have highlighted in blue. I am guessing this might be a G60 only part??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ausgolfer 0 Posted January 15, 2014 I just tried to crack the throttle with my hand and the other half of the plastic bit that has broken fell off in my hands. haha this is what it looks like now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ausgolfer 0 Posted January 31, 2014 Back again guys. I bought an ebay replacement and it's suffered the same failure :( does anyone have a good one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VW_OwneR_85 1 Posted January 31, 2014 hi , never actually seen these throttle bodys so im not 100% sure if this is possible but maybe take your old throttle body to some one that can weld a nice piece of metal maybe a nut with a cut/slice down the middle so the cable can slot into that way it cant go anywhere? dunno but if they break that easy look at modifying the one you have, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
