im after a manual adjusting clutch cable for my mk2 91 8V Gti
but the silly man at VW says "theres no such thing for that year/model they were only automatically adjusted"
i say " you mean the manual adjusting cable is discontinued?"
VW "no....theres no such thing for that model"
i say "well ive got one"
blah blah this goes on for several minutes resulting in me getting pissed off with the clown on the phone who is obviously thinking about the long weekend.
has anybody or can anybody give me a part number for this clutch cable so i can actually get one as i dont want the auto adjust one as ive heard they are rubbish and id rather swop like for like.
cheers

theres no GSF or ECP near by.....so id have to buy online and by the time ive paid the rip off postage cost i might aswell have gone straight to VW so i dont usually bother looking at them to be honest

It doesn't say manual, but the pic looks right...
(I'd have gone GSF myself, but if they're nowhere near that's no good!)

OOOOOO nice one mr ED but..............
i just checked GSF out of interest and theyve got free postage now as of January 2008!
and they seem to have what im after at a 3rd of the price VW quoted! so thats what im getting!
thanks for ya help all who replied :cool:
-
lol - just about to say about the postage but ya beat me too it :wink:
-
bought and paid for now! a job for next weekend! i bet its wrong though! :sick:
-
yeah the 91 gti only got self-adjusting ones, just ask for a 1985 MK2 1.6 cable instead, definitly will be a manual one ;)
-
ok jonny....the one i bought is for golf/jetta mk2 1.6/1.8 RHD 1983-89
it looks the same at 1st glance.....i will tear into it tomorrow. i hope it cures my problem as its getting rather annoying

Nice and easy... 20 mins max!!
I prefer the manual adjustin cable as you can set the biting point where you want it... Especially if your clutch plate is worn.
-
yep nice and easy! my clutch now works like a dream! ive been driving round for ages thinking that the clutch was supposed to feel the way it did (heavy) . as ive only had "newer" cars before with really light clutches.
i wont tell my girlfriend its any easier as she will want to drive my golf! :evil:
