Is there anyway of lengthening a throttle cable?
The cable in my beetle is about 20mm too short but I don't really want to take the old one out unless I really have to

Cheers

Its not broken, its standard length.
The carbie I'm using has the same style connector just the linkage is slightly further away.

i think holley make a extension piece that attaches to the standard cable end with a grub screw, you could try a carbie specialist to see if they could get one for you, i had one that i used on a holley bug spray years ago.

As vwo60 above but I'd also try a vw shop. It's a cable extender, one simple fitting, a grub screw and a longer shaft, prolly about 40mm overall.
