111-721-555EGR German VW Beetle Accelerator Cable 2627mm (1966-1971)

VW Accelerator Cable (German Quality) – 111-721-555EGR

The 111-721-555EGR is a premium, German-manufactured accelerator cable designed for the most popular years of air-cooled production. Measuring exactly 2627mm, this cable is engineered to provide the precise mechanical connection needed between the pedal cluster and the carburetor. The "GR" designation signifies original German quality, ensuring the wire is manufactured with the correct tensile strength to prevent the stretching and snapping often associated with budget-grade alternatives.

A sticking or frayed throttle cable can lead to dangerous "high idle" situations or leave you stranded on the side of the road. This German version utilizes a specific multi-strand wire design that maintains flexibility while resisting the internal friction caused by bends in the chassis guide tube. Its zinc-plated finish acts as a barrier against rust, ensuring that your throttle response remains crisp and smooth throughout the life of the cable.

• Total Length: 2627mm

• Material: Zinc-Plated High-Tensile Steel

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Clear the Guide Tube: Before installation, blow out the chassis guide tube with compressed air to remove old grease or metal shards from previously snapped cables.

• Proper Lubrication: Lightly coat the cable with a silicone-based lubricant or light machine oil before sliding it into the chassis. Avoid thick greases that can gum up in freezing temperatures.

• Adjusting Full Throttle: Have an assistant hold the accelerator pedal to the floor while you check the carburetor. The butterfly valve should be fully open without putting excessive "tug" on the cable.

• Check the Fan Shroud: Ensure the cable is protected by the small metal guide tube as it passes through the engine's fan shroud to prevent the spinning fan from damaging the wire.
