Re: 1.6td, idles ok but no throttle
Thanks peeps - turns out it was the fuel filter - apparently had some contamination in the tank. Back on the road! Off to the Isle of Wight...

Re: 1.6td, idles ok but no throttle
Cheers Camper - just been out to try that but the spindle seems to be engaging fine so the problem is somewhere after that in the throttle linkage or pump?

Re: 1.6td, idles ok but no throttle
Thanks Titus,
I can see two fuel feed pipes (intake hoses?) - does one of them do the idle and the other is to accelerate? The engine is running smooth at idle and the throttle is doing nothing at all when I press it, not even a lumpy acceleration...

1.6td, idles ok but no throttle
I have a 1.6td that won't accelerate - it starts ok, idles fine but get nothing at all when I press the accelerator. It started as an intermittent fault. The throttle cable is still pulling the throttle. Anyone any ideas?
