King Performance Accelerator Cable Guide Tube | VW Beetle, Ghia & Type 3 | 598mm Bowden Tube (113721551)

VW Accelerator Cable Guide Tube — 598mm Bowden Tube (113721551)

Restore a crisp, responsive pedal feel to your air-cooled Volkswagen with this heavy-duty accelerator cable guide tube. Designed to protect the throttle cable from dirt, heat, and friction, this 598mm (23.5") Bowden tube is a must-replace item during any engine pull or cable service. Over time, the internal liner of the original tube can wear through or the spring tension can weaken, leading to sticking throttles or snapped cables. This replacement provides the necessary "sag" and tension to ensure your cable doesn't bind under load, delivering smooth and repeatable throttle response.
