Sticking accelerator linkage (archive)
[ Follow Ups ] [ CS (E9) Message Board ] [ Msg. Board FAQ ]
Posted by Sam Madden on October 05, 2001 at 19:33:31:

I've just had my car (73 CSi) serviced and the mechanic thought that the throttle was a bit stiff. He greased it (including the shaft behind the pedal) and freed some of the layshaft linkages in front of the firewall - they had some rust in them. Now the throttle is sticking badly.

I remember reading in the archives a suggestion that the throttle linkages on the CSi don't resond to lubrication but I can't find it again.
Can anyone help with advice and/or remedies.
