Defcon5 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I think the Polo GTI AVY/ARC engines have cable. Do you want one for a specific reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) The engine would not work unless you have the ecu recoded. Why do you want to do it?To be honest, there is no point converting to cable unless your doing a conversion where you need it.I did mine, it was a complete pain, extended the end of the pedal, put a cable end on it and then routed a throttle cable through the grommet behind the clutch pedal to my TB, it was a pain in the arse to get it the right length to get full throttle, Im still not sure if its working right now!If its cos your tb is dead, i have one for sale for £50 plus postage.John Edited October 6, 2009 by CasperGTI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icegeezer Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Agreed an absolute pain to convert if no real need as john says - again, still dont think mine is 100% perfect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 hi i would need it for a conversion i am doing(well g works)so i need to gather all these bits up so i can get it sorted,does any one know about the early lupo having the cable?thanksgary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noddy Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 you will need a peddle from a 1.4s as they were cable and the cable as long as your not moving the throttle body it will work as its all factory saves prating about with adding bits if gworks are doing it then it will save labor cost !!!
