I think mine is stretched. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 07-19-2009, 02:17 AM | #17 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Raleigh/Charlotte, NC Posts: 1,233 | Just crawl underneath by the pedals, There is a little metal end on the wire that is hooked into the gas pedal, push it out of the slot it sits in and you just pull it through the firewall. Insert new one and clip it back into place on the gas pedal, very simple! __________________ -Jeff | | | 07-19-2009, 02:28 AM | #18 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | I forgot I had a TIS disk. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 07-19-2009, 02:30 AM | #19 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Thanks.

Really up to you though. __________________ -Jeff | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Thread Tools | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
