406 Throttle cable and water pump

Hi.



1999 406 2.0 petrol, unsure which engine code.

I have some free play in the throttle cable at the engine end. The cable disappears through some bracket & attaches to cam thing. I can see the spring clip adjuster thing on the ribbed bit of the cable sleeve, which is right at the end. I still have 10mm of play. The rubber grommet thing that the clip rests against is still there, and I have currently rigged up a bodge to take up the slack.



Is my cable stretching, or has someone put the wrong one on at sometime ?



also, how can you stop the water pump from squealing ? It quietens down after engine has warmed up, but the noise goes right through me until then ?



Thanks in advance



James

Is it the water-pump bearing, or the belt tension? Check that the belt tension is ok first.

Its the pump rather than the belt, it squeaks rather than squeal, if you know what I mean...

You can get a lubricant to add to the coolant I think, although never used it.
