Ive got and E46 BMW 318i and seem to have a sticky throttle. It seems to be harder to push when the weather is damp. It was that bad the other day that the pedal felt like a 5 position switch as opposed to a throttle. This seems to be a common problem on the E46. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to cure this?

Thanks In Advance.

 

had this on no end of e46s at work,we have changed the throttle cables which makes them abit better!
so i would do that,not that bad of a job either!

 

Sounds like a plan tho i would like to be a last resort.

Any idea how much the cable is? I cant seem to find any prices online to check

 

its a main dealer only part,i think there about 18 quid
thats the only thing you can do as with the cable removed the pedal is nice and three so is the throttle butterfly.

 

cool cheers for the help
