Peugeot 406 Accelerator cable - Davy_S {P}
Hi All,

Over the next week or so I will need to change my accelerator cable on my Mk 1 406 DT LX.

Has anyone done this and if so any major problems?

The Haynes book gives this a 2 spanner rating, but having read the 'Real meanings'....

Peugeot 406 Accelerator cable - IanT
Can't really say for the 406. But when I wanted to replace the accelerator cable on a Mk 1 306 DT, my friendly Peugeot dealer sold me the wrong cable.

I spent a long time puzzling out why this cable wouldn't fit, before giving in. In the end, I just swapped the inner wire out of the new cable into the old cable, since it was only the inner wire fraying which was causing any trouble.

A perfect repair, but £40 for just the inner wire was a bit steep!
