Fuel pedal and traction control — adjustment (Audi 100 C3)

1. The accelerator rod must be adjusted so that the control lever on the transmission is in the free position when the throttle is closed. If the adjustment is incorrect, the shift speeds will be too high at partial throttle opening and the main hydraulic pressure will be too high at idle.

2. Before making any adjustments, fulfill a number of conditions: the engine is warmed up to normal operating temperature, on carburetor models the automatic air damper is fully open.

3. Working in the engine compartment, disconnect the pushrod and pushrod and, where applicable, the cruise control mechanism.

4. Move the tie rod until it stops and check that the end on the rod easily fits onto the stud with the ball end without opening the tie rod. If necessary, adjust this position with the screw on the end of the tie rod.

5. Install the rod and the end of the push rod end-to-end.

6. From underneath the vehicle, loosen the clamp bolt on the end of the pushrod in the transmission.

7. With the transmission control lever in contact with the unset throttle and the throttle lever in contact with the unset idle, tighten the pushrod clamp bolt.

8. Remove the locking bracket and remove the end of the push rod from the transmission control lever. Disconnect the return spring.

9. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and lock it in this position.

10. Move the transmission control lever away from the forced reverse shift position and leave it in this position.



11. Loosen the accelerator pedal cable terminal bolt on the transmission control lever, grasp the end of the cable with pliers and pull the cable (Fig. 7.11). Clamp the end of the cable with the bolt.



12. Install the pusher on the control lever, connect the return spring.

15. Loosen the two throttle cable mounting nuts in the carburetor bracket hanger.

16. Lock the carburetor rod in the closed position and pull the outer cable through the suspension to remove slack. Clamp the cable in this position with the mounting nuts.

17. Disconnect the control lever return spring on the transmission.

18. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and leave it in this position.

19. Move the transmission control lever away from the forced reverse shift position and leave it in this position.

20. Loosen the accelerator pedal cable terminal bolt on the transmission control lever, grasp the end of the cable with pliers, pull the cable (Fig. 7.15). Clamp the cable with the bolt.





21. Install the return spring.

22. To check the adjustment, press the accelerator pedal until you feel resistance at full throttle, without going into the positive reverse position. The throttle lever on the carburetor linkage should rest against the full throttle stop, and the positive reverse spring should not be compressed.

23. Now fully depress the accelerator pedal. The transmission control lever should touch the positive shift limiter, the positive shift spring on the carburetor should be compressed by approximately 8 mm.
