annoying squeak???

[grey_clio]

I have a 95 clio 1.4 RT, just as i take my foot off the accelerator I get a very annoying squeak but only just as I take my foot off

any ideas

check the throttle cable for tightness

 

[grey_clio]

am I right in saying that the cable should be tight when the pedal is fully down, is it easy to adjust?

Thanks

easy enoug to check yep losness doens't matter so long as it slack when not under load and opens the body when throttle is florred

yeah theres a small amount of slack when just sitting still, seems to open up ok but if for example, Im driving down the road and I press the accelorator down then come off without braking (just come off the accelerator) theres a squeak underneath, if I press down then off then down then off it squeaks alot (obviosly just done this to exagerate the problem)

HELP

its only a small problem really but so annoying and its the only reall niggle I have with the car

Throttle cable or TB needs lubricating

Throttle cable or TB needs lubricating

right ok, is this easy? what stuff do I need to use to do it?

sorry for all the questions but im a noob with cars

You'd be better getting a garage to replace the whole cable length. It won't be expensive from a local garage. ie. not Renault.

The throttle body can be lubricated with white spray grease, just make sure you don't get it everywhere... just on the linkage.
