My 1993 K-Reg ZX Volcane 1.9TD has a damper fitted to the throttle body and attached to the accelerator cable.
Unfortunately this damper has stopped working and the accelerator cable keeps sticking and taking a long time for the pedal to return.
Consequently when changing gears it over-revs each time unless you dip the clutch and allow the accelerator cable 10secs to return to it's normal position before changing gear.
Has anybody else had this problem and what did you do to fix it ?
I have been quoted £113+vat just for the damper ! ! !

If it ain't broke ....... Leave it alone !

Even if the damper is removed, then the spring in the pump is enough to allow the the throttle cable to return.
Dave Burns of this forum tells me that he just removes the damper.
If you don't want to follow that route then we sell them here at Andyspares, new Bosch part is £49.50 and exactly what the dealer is charging you £113.oo for!!!! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
