Smuggler 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Any ideas on fitting it to the pedal easily on a golf vr6? You just cant see nothing under the dash and can barely get my hand up to the top of the pedal link, how am i supposed to get the cable on? Do I fit that end first, or on TB first or not?

Charged VR 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 The cable comes in two halfs on a Mk3, What half and why are you replacing it? Link to post Share on other sites
gav_113 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 u replace it from the engine bay.. follow it into the firewall on bulkhead.. Link to post Share on other sites
Smuggler 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I'm replacing it because it was removed when i changed the engine over, how exactly is it split into two halves though? The end that is exposed has a spring with a ball and black plastic bit on the end of the cable, so basically from the throttle body through to the bulkhead. Link to post Share on other sites
Charged VR 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 if you follow the cable from the throttle valve to the bulkhead you will find a black plastic housing which clips in, if you pull this out you will see how they join together. If you have no throttle cable then look on the bulkhead for a hole around the heater matrix pipe about the size of a 50p. The other end of the throttle cable may have dropped back but you should be able to pull it up again and then connect the two halves Link to post Share on other sites
Smuggler 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Ahh ok, so the bit inside the car is connected to the pedal, and then that connects to the top half of the cable? Just wondering if the pedal half is connected to the pedal linkage permanently or not? Also, how exactly does it clip in? As I forgot to remove the cable when removing the engine so would it likely to have just popped out, or broke off with force?Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Smuggler 0 Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Ok, had another look today and i see how the cable goes on now, before i had the pedal on the floor so could not see the lever. Now my problem is that the bit where the ball of the cable clips into is fractured where i left the cable in when removing the engine, so it obviously wont stay there. Is this cheap/easy enough to replace or not? On first looks i'd say no, but anyone else?Also any ideas for a quick fix to keep the ball attached to the lever?Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
