volksworld13 0 Posted January 16, 2010 just replaced my throttle cable on my 8v c, its been very stiff since i bought the car, 3yr ago, and got worse over this time,it looks like its never been replaced before,cable was 20 quid ish from vw, think they are on back order at the mo, it has made one hell of a diffrence to throttle response and its so much smoother, when i stripped the lower console out around the pedals, i noticed how the cable was cutting its way through through the plastic surround as it enters the bulk head , you can see this with a torch,i replaced the cable, to only notice the new cable did the exact same thing the cable is rubbbing over the plastic cutting it, ive spent a short time looking at this and no matter where you position the cable on the bulk head, the cable still rubs it, has any one else seen this before,i think this may be a production normality, as i cant see any other way this cable caan be installed to prevent this, and to all 8v owners flip a cable on it, if it hasent already been done, makes a big diffrence, really easy to fit aswell. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
