Throttle cable service kit mk5

Postby nigelwheeler » Wed Oct 12, 2022 12:12 pm

I managed to snap off the black plastic threaded adjuster that the cable passes through on top of the throttle body.

Just wondering if these parts would come with a new throttle cable, or if there's some sort of service kit.

My parts supplier also says they have never been able to get throttle cables, and it's the sort of thing that it's best to look on eBay for, so any recommendations for reputable suppliers welcome.

Many thanks!

To clarify, it's a 190D, 1998 (2.5l DI "banana")

So far as I can remember, when I replaced the cable on my Mk5, I used a genuine Ford part as replacement.
The adjuster is part of the double ended cable assembly which just clips on at both ends 8) :D

Thanks guys - replacement ordered.
A slightly annoying expense to add to the all-round fun of getting the viscous fan clutch nut to shift (I won eventually :D )
