Help - Broke down

The rubber bush Leon mentioned fits in the circular section at the end of the arm in the pic below.

I had to replace the rubber on my golf also.
 
Well i found the arm with the rubber gromit, and the hook wasn't attached.

The rubber grommit looked fine so i hooked it back on, but the pedal still isn't sitting right. Its still dropped right down with hardly any travel, but it still pulls.

Attached the other end too

It should start up even if this cable is a bit dodgy though, but it wont :confused:
 
I reckon that the idle isn't set up properly but the pedal position compensated for this. Now the pedal has dropped the fuelling is out for the idle.

Tighten up the pedal back to how it was and see what happens then?

Also, you havn't flattened the battery by trying to start it a few times have you?

So could the cable not being set up properly prevent it from starting up?

Is this injected or a carburettor?

It's a carb
 
Since its a carb you could try to manually adjust the idle speed :)

On my old carb you just got a butter knife or screw driver and turned the screw a tiny little bit to speed it up :)


See if that helps
 
you can turn the throttle cam on the throttle body by hand and get someone to start the car, if it runs and revs ok from that then there's 2 problems.

1, poor cable
2, poor idle management.
