				Broken Throttle Part Question
			 
			
			On the 1987 300TD I just picked up, there's a part of the throttle that's broken.  I thought I might describe it in hopes that someone can identify parts and help me figure out what needs to be done. The throttle cable attaches to a triangular piece of metal. The "point" of the triangle where the cable attaches, including the guide, appears to be intact. But another point of the triangle is connected to a black piece of plastic which has broken off from something....but I'm having difficulty seeing from what. What do I need to do to fix this? Trying to decide whether to tackle it myself or have my indie do it. Thanks.

			I assume this is not a common failure. Try the fellows in our parts section to try to get a good usable replacement part. It should be self changeable. It is a somewhat obscure part but our site sponsor has a good record of locating odd new parts as well. You could give them a try. Our abilities to change parts ourselves does save real money plus on really older cars it makes owning them more practical. |
