B7 bonnet release cable

Post by Skidado »

Cable broke the other day. Spent 3 hours in the rain getting the bonnet open, but managed it without breaking anything 😁. Cable is in two parts and fortunately it’s the front section (easier to access) that is broken.

Bought a replacement cable from dealer, but they have changed the design so that it is no longer compatible with the original rear section that runs into the passenger compartment 😡. I don’t want to replace the rear section as it’s a b@gger to fit.

Does anyone know where I might get the correct cable? Possibly an independent who stocks new old stock...

The part number is 3AC 823 531 A.

Any help much appreciated

David
