Vick N 0 Posted August 8, 2009 Mine snapped at the little end connector and I had to replace it with a new cable, wasn't that dear from VW and works 100x better now, was a little fiddly to fit but with some different types of pliers I managed to get it in.

mariojoshi 1 Posted August 9, 2009 Same just happened to mine fella. Again, looks like a new cableset, as there's no way of refitting a new connector unless you're some kind of engineering legend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-=Kris=- 0 Posted August 19, 2009 hey guys... i got the exact same problem... tho i spoke to VW today, they said that they don't sell the clip seperate and that it does not come with the bonnet release cable... do you think they've just missunderstood what i'm talking about?

Jim Bowen 1 Posted August 19, 2009 so thats the clip people talk about, i never quite knew exactly what people meant, i always assumed the shaped end on the cable snapped off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted August 19, 2009 when i replaced mine i got this bit (from previous thread) just got back from collecting cable. i ordered part no: 536823531 - CABLE here is what you get £23.79 + vat it doesn't have the bit i need, the ekta was very confusing, seemed to have the bits for a LHD corrado and the bits were in the wrong place, but ordered 535823555 Nipple - £4.27 + vat N0102631 Screw - £0.08 + vat which i hope is the bit for the other end of cable, where you adjust it, was shown in the wrong place but looked like the right part i never fitted the external bit of cable, only the metal wire inside, looked too hard to feed the black casing through as well :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-=Kris=- 0 Posted August 19, 2009 Awsome! i'm just going to order that cable then... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
culshaw 1 Posted August 19, 2009 thats the exact i got, and i paid £2.50 extra cuz the guy on the phone told me the clip was the trumpet looking thing on the NS release spring, i nearly threw away the latter part of the bonnet cable as well so don't chuck that!

-=Kris=- 0 Posted August 19, 2009 Ordered the part today... Should have it on Friday... Along with a couple of rear ABS rings... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted August 20, 2009 It's also worth ordering the bulkhead grommet. The Corrado one is obsolete but has been superceeded by the MKV one which fits perfectly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CazzaVR 0 Posted August 20, 2009 Kris, it's the rubber bung that the cable passes through into the bulkhead. Mine was totally split and in generally bad condition when I changed my cable. Only cost a couple of quid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CazzaVR 0 Posted August 21, 2009 Afraid not- it was on my last Rado. When I went to VW they looked up the original Corrado part and EKTA said it was obsolete, and had been replaced by the MKV item. HTH! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-=Kris=- 0 Posted August 21, 2009 they couldn't get it on time... but the grommit that was already on there was fine... all replaced and working fine now... yey! need a new grill now tho... accidently broke a clip... :brickwall: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr6dom 0 Posted November 30, 2010 After nearly 16 years of faithful service mine (clip) snapped too last week :( Obviously didn't like this cold snap... err no pun intended! :) Whilst making sure myself that there are definitely no clips 535 823 567 collecting dust at any dealers or VW noticed gruvenparts have help at hand... but at a price, about the same as a new cable. http://gruvenparts.com/website/cart/cart.php?target=product&product_id=344&category_id=60 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
