T350 Throttle Cable
Discussion
Hi all, planning a trip to the south of France for mid September and am doing some due diligence and getting a collection of spares together and working out what pre-checks I should do. I know the throttle cable is often an issue so I am taking a spare but could I ask does it usually snap at the pedal end? I guess the rotation (if not perfectly adjusted) as you press the pedal is what cases the damage over time? I will probably add a regular check of the cable to my normal routine just so I am on top of any issue before it is close to a breakdown scenario!
Also related to the throttle, I wondered if anyone who has an ECU reader can tell me what % each throttle should read at full pedal depression to the stop? I am guessing not all the way to 100% but would like to know the norm?

Great thanks Twinreal, that is exactly what mine reads! Not planning on making any adjustments just want to check regularly to ensure I can catch any issue before failure. So I assume I am correct in that it is 99% of the time the pedal end that snaps (i.e. this is where I should check for any fraying)?
Hi Arthur,
Glad you had a good trip this time round without any issues! Would be great to see some more pictures
With your cable break, was it the cable or the R-clip thingy that broke? I think I will now check both ends regularly, especially before any major trips! Hard to understand why it would break at that end as it is not at any awkward angle or anything....
How did you find the heat in the cabin over there? As we are not going over until mid sept it shouldn't be a major problem as temps usually between 23-25c which isn't too bad. Especially when on the move.
This is my current list of spares
Tools:
Small ratchet set including screwdriver, bolt and allen bits
Some bigger spanners of common sizes
Small Pliers
Anderson Jump leads
Insulation and duct tape
Selection of cable ties
Heat Insulated Glove
Tyre pressure reader
Magnetic Pen
EvoOlli Mobile ECU Reader
Torch
Spares:
Numerous selection of spade fuses
2 general yellow relays
Fuel pump relay
Various strip/midi fuses (80,100,125amps) and holder (for under airbox) and 80amp fuse passenger footwell
Fuse/relay layout diagram
Coolant cap
Throttle cable
Set of Bulbs
Tyreweld x2
Fire extinguisher
1l Oil
1l Coolant
Have I missed anything!

Didn't know where Patagonia was, so looked it up and I would love to drive there! Some of the pictures look amazing....
Was thinking I could easily take my socket head and breaker bar but would then need a bottle jack to do anything. Seen this that would be well handy:
But pricey though!I have a normal size bottle jack that I could take and would just need to park on a kerb if an emergency arose!
