Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 23, 2004 Yep, they're fickle bar stewards those bowden cables. Well done for sorting it :lol: I did some healthy upgrades on my cables last year and they've been fine ever since. First mod is to get a new screen vent cable. The standard one is too short and kinks and gets stiff too easily. The new cable is a good 6" longer than the factory one, so VW are obviously aware of the problem. Second mod is to space out the hot/cold flap actuator arm with some rubber washers and lots of grease 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
