Throttle cable length??

Post by jonzy »

Hi Y'all :)
MYthrottle cable has started to randomly stick, I tried re-lubricating it a month or so ago and was good, for a week or 2 now is worse than ever. So, am going to do what i should've in the first place and replace it....
was just wonderin.... as its a 1990 diesle with a 1.9TD 1994(Passat) AAZ conversion (done before i bought) what would the length of cable be, are there cables produced for this conversion or would I need to get one made to order?
....or are they adjustable.....as you can see, i have no idea.... :?
any hints or advice would be amazing
cheers :)
Steve

..cheers for that :)
the reason i ask is beacuse a couple of weeks ago I'd called either Just Kampers or Bluebird, i cant remember which, and was told i had to remove the cable and measure it. But its a common engine conversion and I thought that I'd be able to just order the correct cable, but no apparently I have to measure it and get back to them....
