Hello,

She's a 1978 standard UK car. Bonnet release cable snapped as it completely seized (literally overnight which is very annoying). Can anyone tell me if there's another one I can use. Otherwise I'll use some universal cable and bike clips.

Oh, also need a bonnet release pull handle (the one in the passenger foot well). It fell apart as I was a bit rough with it trying to get the bonnet open.

Many thanks.

That's great thanks.

I did a search on the net but couldn't find anyone who did them. Think I need to learn to search better!

Have asked ebs to give me a price.

To answer your question - YES.

Although my cable ATM is a $6 length of generic inner/outer from a cable shop I picked up a spare VW one cheap on ebay that came with a new plastic (lightweight) handle of similar shape/size.

Part # on the bag is: 321 823 531C, Passat 8/77 -- 7/80

Good chance though one from a dealer is not cheap but IIRC the Porsche one with handle is around $50.

Cool thanks,

I'm on my way back to the UK for a couple of days this afternoon. There are a few shops I can try that have VW bits armed with the part number.
