Hi!

I tried to feel if the throttle cable was a bit loose under the bonnet, it moved side by side something like 2 cm before it pulled the throttle. Is this ok?

If not, how could i tighten it?

Do you mean the bonnet release cable?

No i mean the wire that pulls the "throttle" (other end in gas pedal, other end in throttle body).

And i found out it my self.

There is a "u" shaped pin/socket which graps in to the wire core - in the wire core near the throttle body.

You have to pull this pin up and pull the cable core little bit more out, after that put the pin back on, and that is that.

Now that the throttle wire is tight as it should be - i gained about 10hp

Strange I thought all 166's were fly by wire controlled?

Nope, 2.0TS models are with cable at least the 98-99 models are.
