which throttle cable for wagner im

[Jamo]

Just to confirm this cable doesn't fit as there wasn't enough pedal movement for our liking.

Mine is in the middle of professional extension to get it too the correct length.

I'm sure there is a solution out there for RHD cars off the shelf.

this is a problem that i have had for a while. i heard as i previously mentioned that the AAN was too short. i never tried it for myself but took the word of others.


so far my research has come up with a mk4 golf/beetle 2.0l cable. the thing im not sure of is where the tb is on one of those. that will dictate the need of a LHD or RHD cable. i think we would need a lhd one.

There's another way you'll have to ask S2_Bo and Sonic for the link to the part as I can't remember it.

would be nice to have a factory cable instead of making one. i still run the aby cable with a length of brake pipe in there as the extension. its been ok for about 6 months but not an ideal solution.

Bo/Sonic whats this part Jamo is talking of?

cheers

No new progress with this?

[s2_bo]

It's easy if you do it like this:
Fit your maifold. Then use your old cable. Cut the end off and then call the aa. They will re thread you a new cable free of charge. This tried and tested method works a treat and was recomended to me by a forum member.

Enjoy

Jamo's S4 cable was extended by 6 inchs iirc and it now fits like a glove.

[Sonic]

Or you can do what ive done and thread a longer cable through the OEM sheath.

[epic]

Which longer one? Thanks

6 and a half inch

[Jamo]

That half inch makes all the difference , Bo I know who told you that method but with the car stuck in a lockup I couldn't use it

Kudos to Volcano RS for helping me sort the cable

I actually extended the OEM ABY cable as I've gone with the roller wheel instead of the Wagner approved method of cable holder by the throttle body.

That's the one can you post the link to the cable? I haven't got it booked marked.

£36.80 delivered, so not THAT cheap.

cheers for that sonic.

i have ordered one. i am using a length of copper brake piep for extension and a rack mounting bracket from a switch to run the cable over. will be happy for a proper cable.

[Sonic]

No problem. Kudos to Bo for suggesting to give it a go!

Get some pics up when its done
