Collection: Throttle cables

Accelerator cables – mechanical throttle control

An accelerator cable transfers pedal movement to the throttle or another control mechanism in certain vehicles. Most modern fully electronic throttle systems do not use one.

How to choose the correct cable

Compare OE number, total cable and sheath lengths, end fittings, attachment type and engine variant. Incorrect lengths or fittings can prevent proper operation.

Wear symptoms and installation advice

A stiff pedal, sticking or damaged cable requires prompt diagnosis. After replacement, confirm free pedal return and correct throttle operation. Never drive with a sticking accelerator.
