Ph1 172 Throttle cable

[chrisrx]

The pill snapped off the end of my throttle cable where it attaches to the throttle wheel.

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? Apparently the RHD version is discontinued!? Will a LHD version fit?

Thanks,
Chris

I got one from Euro Car Parts for about £13 a few days ago.

Must admit I haven't fitted it yet as that a job for this weekend, but looking at whats included looks identical to whats on the car

The Euro Car Parts product code is 647745261 if that's any help

Genuine Renault ones are good value and far superior in quality. I had a ECP one on my old Ph1 and it started to stick within a year or two. I swapped it for a genuine one and I think it was about £30 but can't remember.

Another tip is I found it easier with the inlet manifold off to fit as you can get down behind the engine/heat shield a lot easier.

Couldn't seem to find a genuine one, although only did a quick Google search.

I went into the dealer when I bought mine, arrived the next day.

Weirdly if you go phone up Renault in Gloucester for parts you go to the Renault dealership to collect, if you walk in to order they send you to the Ford dealer up the road to place the order. Strange.

I'll go through dealer although I called 3 times today and they didn't pick up! ?

They appear discontinued. Non gen is only option now

 

[chrisrx]

Yeah its discontinued. Great! I'm going to try and repair kit first as it's just the pill that's come off the end. Otherwise will have to be the ECP one I guess!

Any luck with the ECP cable

Try a Borg and beck. Seems to be the one people recommend

I’ve got this one from GSF on mine

The shealth goes all the way from the bulk head to the throtte which from past experiences most do not and have some exposed cable.

Annoyingly I had to cut mine down but this is to get a better cable routing for the ITB's but should not be a problem with a standard throttle body

I did end up fixing the GSF one, needed to be cut but is working great at the moment.
