Slack in bosch pump?
#1
Hi guys, just purchased a 405 Estate, 1.9d family wagon, and am having a bit of trouble with the bosch injection pump.

Basically, the first quarter of the throttle travel does nothing.  I have adjusted the cable to take up this slack, so the pedal is responsive, but as a result I can only get 3/4 throttle, and the throttle arm does not reach its rest, its suspended 'open' on the cable.  Is this a common problem with these pumps?  Never had any trouble with the one on my zx (bosch, turbo) 

If so, is it a case of removing the throttle arm, rotating it back, and then refitting, or is this compensating for some kind of internal wear? With it being a nad estate car, I could use that extra quarter throttle!

And help or advice appreciated
