Hi
I have a 02 75 2ltr tourer and noticed how heavy the throttle pedal seems on it, this is my first 75 and not sure if thats how they are suppose to be can anyone shed any light on it? And if so what would be the cause of this.

Welcome along...

It should be light and smooth.

Have a look in the engine bay and make sure it's not kinked. You can disconnect it from the throttle body and drip some light oil down the sleeve to try and improve things.
