JMC 0 Posted September 17, 2006 Just had a nasty ping sound when I went to release my bonnet. Now the cable is really slack, and the bonnet is shut down. Not good. Had a look and the little clip (which is a weak spot on these) is broken. Now I've had some problems with the bonnet release for a while, in that it wouldn't spring back on it's own (the lever had to be pushed back into position before I could shut the bonnet). Pulling on the cable now does nothing. The question is (for those to whom it has happened before) what does it feel like when that little clip on the lever breaks (other than ***** annoying)?? Does it still give any resistance (just wondering if the clip had been broken for ages and the cable has finally snapped). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIMMYVR 0 Posted September 18, 2006 The lever will feel extremley slack mate as it wont be putting any tension on the cable or its outer sleeving. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JMC 0 Posted September 18, 2006 Thanks TimmyVR, the lever does feel really slack, so fingers crossed that it is only the clip that has broken (even though I understand VW no longer sell the clip, should be able to make something up). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
