G60 throttle cable

[vr6paul 0]

Having not done many miles in the Vr6 I have now bought a g60 as a daily - hopefully!

Any ideas on a heavy throttle cable ?

I remember stocks running low at Vw years ago.

Down on eBay I think - anyone found any anywhere else assuming they are not serviceable?

Many thanks folks

Pull the thing out, put it in a vice and oil the inner Cable, gravity will take care of the oil, normally works fine, unless on of the cable strands has snapped..

Then I'll sell you a good spare cable..

thanks for the replies guys - i might give VW a call.

Very sticky - throttle stays open after releasing etc.

thanks

Nothing from Vw - obsolete. Going to try the Veedubbed method above. It's so sticky the car holds onto revs as the throttle slowly closes. Fingers crossed - if not I'll be in touch veedubbed! Cheers

Noticed tonight that there is some slack in the cable at the engine end after the metal cable is exposed (if that makes sense)? Should it be tight?

Yeah, there is a metal clip that you adjust to take the slack out of the cable. Usually what happens is people over tighten the cable thereby preventing the throttle from closing properly, however clearly not the case in your instance.

 

From what you describe I would suspect a fault with the throttle body, perhaps removing it and giving it a good clean and look over would be best place to start.

It does feel like the throttle stays open too long so perhaps it is sticky too. Cheers!

Got some oil on it tonight and adjusted a bit to take up slack. Feels much better now! Cheers for the tip!
