Hard throttle.

[Matt-Rallye]

Hi all,

Im planning on whipping the T/B off my rallye this weekend to give it a general clean and de-gunk and also to try and sort my idling issue, one thing i have noticed with the car is the throttle pedal is really stiff and quite hard to press.

Is this normal on a gti6 / rallye? I havent driven any others to compare it too!

Is there anything i can do to make it lighter? I would prefer a lighter / more responsive throttle pedal if i can.

Thanks in advance

Matt

It's the cable, drying out inside. I sprayed lube in mine, worked it in, and felt 100 times better just not wd40! As its shit

Thanks chap

I use Wurth Ultra 2040, seems to do a better job all round than WD40 so it shall get a liberal dosage of this

Get some spray grease in there and try an work it in works a treat

I do have some thicker wurth stuff that i use so might give that a go also

Thanks for the advice

My throttle pedal in my 1.6 was stupidly stiff so held it up and dropped a load of engine oil down it.....

worked a treat!!

I soaked mine in veg oil. Would recommend you just buy a new cable lol
