Default 1 or 2 throttle cables?

Hey i seen that my car has just the throttle cable while see every other car another cable besides the throttle cable, so i'm wondering whats the other cable for and also how do you tighten the slack to the throttle cable.

TCS/ASR cars have one cable and non-TCS cars have
two (cruise & throttle). TCS cars combine cruise & pedal
at the pulley cluster on the wheelhousing instead.

Snap-clip adjusters are found on some of the cable
segments but if there are none where you need them,
you have to fabricate your own spacer.

I have an 01 "stripper" and it has only one cable. The only option it came with was a tire upgrade.

I am certain it is the kickdown cable for the a4.

Wow, you learn something new everyday. I have TCS on my car, so I never knew that the non-TCS/ASR cars had two cables.

I don't have cruise control...but I think the cruise control module is located on the left front frame rail behind the bumper on a 99 model year. It should have a 10 wire connector with grey and green wires at each end.... I think.
