1989 Throttle Cable - Long Version

morch_66479

Hi All,

Hoping I can get a throttle cable for my 1989 Volvo 240, I’ve already tried fitting one but it was slightly shorter than mine so it didn’t work.
Total cable length is 1370mm.

Please see pictures below, hoping someone could take the time to measure and post me one to Mornington, VIC 😊

I’d be able to source you a new, genuine, correct cable.

Only trouble is it may have to come from Sweden

Ok, sounds promising. How much and what's the ETA?

Biggest concern here is that the correct one is ordered as the differences is minimal but super important.

What’s your VIN?

If you guys manage to find the part number for the correct throttle cable please let me know as I'm in search of the same thing 🙂

Berry Motor Group keep a lot of spares for 240, they buy in bulk from Europe and America and Uk.

Anything I have needed for three of my 240s has been on shelf.

*note that they cover a lot of online forum and FB parts requests but calling is best method not relying on messages here or even on FB .

I 've been trying to avoid them unless really necessary. Always like reaching out here to to try share money with people that might hold stock/spares rather than going to dealer/garage straight away.

Unfortunately, no longer available.

Darn, I've sourced one 2nd hand from the I Roll Volvo Page.

The one I sourced from Michael Furner was too short. Now I have a few cables sitting on the bench and none of them work :-/ Darn it!

ramrod

Incorrect cable.

ramrod really why's that? I got the P/N from @jamesinc comment above with same dimensions as mine?
Or what is the part number i need?
Just measured mine again and it's got an 'B' measurement of 1350mm

I'll check if I have one tomorrow, I know I have a throttle cable but not sure what it's from.

Did you have any luck with this?

Sly240wagon I have one

Amazing, I'll take it 🙂 Where are you based? I'm in Mornington, VIC

I'm going to remove my original one again this evening and measure it properly just to confirm we're right with dimensions before committing :-)
