Key Features

• Precision Engineering: The cable is manufactured with tight tolerances to ensure minimal play between the throttle lever and the engine control unit, providing a direct and responsive feel.
• Durable Construction: Constructed from high‑grade steel wire wrapped in a protective polymer coating, it resists abrasion, corrosion, and wear caused by constant flexing.
• Universal Fit: Compatible with a broad spectrum of Renault models—R9, R11, R14, R18, R19, R20, R25, Express, Extra, Rapid, and Super 5—making it a versatile replacement for many vehicle owners.
• Easy Installation: Designed to fit the existing mounting points on both the driver’s side and the engine bay, installation can be completed with standard tools in under an hour.
• Enhanced Throttle Response: The cable’s low friction design reduces lag between accelerator input and engine response, improving overall driving dynamics.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Disconnect the Battery: For safety, remove the negative terminal to prevent accidental electrical discharge.
2. Remove Old Cable: Detach the existing accelerator cable from both the throttle lever and the engine bay housing. Note the orientation of the connectors for accurate reassembly.
3. Prepare New Cable: Unroll the new Metzger 10.0381 Throttle cable, ensuring that the polymer coating remains intact and free from damage.
4. Attach to Lever: Secure the cable onto the throttle lever using the provided clamp or screw mechanism, matching the orientation of the original installation.
5. Route Through Engine Bay: Guide the cable through the designated channel, avoiding sharp bends that could increase wear. Use cable ties if necessary to keep it in place.
6. Connect to Engine Control Unit: Attach the other end of the cable to the throttle input port on the engine control unit or related component, ensuring a snug fit.
7. Reconnect Battery and Test: Reattach the battery terminal, start the vehicle, and test the accelerator response. The throttle should feel smooth with no hesitation.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the cable regularly for signs of wear or fraying, especially at connection points.
• Avoid excessive force on the throttle lever; gentle handling preserves cable integrity.
• If the vehicle is exposed to harsh environmental conditions (salt, sand, extreme temperatures), consider additional protective measures such as silicone sleeves.
