Audi Workshop Service and Repair Manuals

• ● → Throttle cable -1- is attached to accelerator pedal and cable cam on throttle valve control part

• ‒ Pull securing clip -3- off grooved section of throttle cable sheath.
• ‒ Depress accelerator pedal into full throttle position.

Note:

A second mechanic is required for this step or use a spring tensioning rod braced against the steering wheel.

Vehicles with manual gearbox

• ‒ Adjust throttle cable by moving the securing clip -3- at the rubber grommet -4- in the support bracket -2- so that the full throttle position is attained at the throttle valve lever.

Vehicles with automatic gearbox

All models

• ‒ Release accelerator pedal or remove spring tensioning rod.
• ‒ After adjusting the throttle cable, check position of throttle valve at idling speed and full throttle stops.

Checking adjustment (vehicles with automatic gearbox)

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items

• ◆ Hand multimeter V.A.G 1526 or V.A.G 1526 A
• ◆ Adapter set V.A.G 1594 A

• ‒ Pull 2-pin connector off kick-down switch (F8) in engine compartment (on the bulkhead).

• ‒ → Connect hand multimeter V.A.G 1526 with aux. cables from V.A.G 1594 to kick-down switch.
• ‒ Check resistance at switch.
• ‒ Specification: ∞ ω
• ‒ Slowly move accelerator pedal in direction of full throttle.
• ‒ The reading must drop to 0 ωshortly after resistance to movement is felt at kick-down point.
• ‒ At this point the accelerator pedal should be just short of the end stop.
