Here is my tutorial on how to repair your bug’s gas cable. This method works best of the cable has broken off to where you cannot tape a new cable to the old one and pull it through.

Very nice, I just need to replace mine as well.
How do you attached the cable to the pedal
any idea how to do this on a 79 super? Their is a plastic sleeve in mine. Can't feed the throttle cable in. Can't pull the sleeve out….. at a loss
Thanks for the video but never put your petrol filter in the engine bay
Simple And Excellent Guide Thanks Man.
What is the overall length of the accelerator cable?
Great video. Gave me a lot of confidence. I bought a 73 Type 1 from the original owner that has not started since 1995. The accelerator pedal is stuck. I assume from rust. I need to gently get that working. Here is a link that gives more detail. http://www.vw-resource.com/acccable1.html
Very clear and thorough. Even though it's a routine job to a seasoned VW mechanic, this would be very helpful to the novice. Cheers!
I watched this to see how the pedal end connects to the arm, but you did not even connect it on video?
Really ? Tie new cable with the broken cable with little bit of tape pull it through lol …
