The shop has to make a living I guess. You can do it yourself in much less than a hour and the part is cheap. http://www.van-cafe.com/home/van/search?keywords=accelerator+cable&x=0&y=0 Mark David M wrote: > Gas pedal was acting funny for a few days. Take off from rest real slow. Should have looked at it, but didn't. Today entering a freeway the pedal went to the floor and I barely moved, van just idled. Managed to pull over to the left in the triangular area between the freeway and the on-ramp. Waited an hour for AAA. Fortunately my a/c saved me in the 100 degree AZ heat. Got towed to a close by but non-VW shop. They say it's a broken cable and will be $250 and 2 days to fix. Expensive cable. Think its time to get my belts replaced. I'm on a run of bad luck. > > -David (1987 Wolfsburg) > |
