Supercharged 2 Posted May 6, 2015 Depends if the metal sleeves are rusty / siezed - try and buy these too as it might make things much easier! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 15 Posted May 6, 2015 Took longer to get the centre tunnel and handbrake handle off. Not a bad job though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 Lee 0 Posted May 6, 2015 Will have to get some prices for cable.. knowing my luck bet they cost £100 or they don't supply them anymore...lol! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 15 Posted May 6, 2015 I just changed mine, they were just under £20 each and the guild tubes came to about £15 for the pair. I only changed mine because the part numbers on the cables weren't as bright a white as new ones! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

delfinis38 1 Posted May 6, 2015 Cheaper if you go for paigid cables fro eurocarparts about 12 quid each. Work out if you can get the handbrake handle grip off first..... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 15 Posted May 6, 2015 Yep! Both the cables and guide tubes from vw Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
