Why do things break just after the shops have shut!!!

Bonnet release cable has seazed, fortunatly, this is while the bonnet is open! So just wondering

• Has anyone replaced the bonnet release cable on their MK2?
• Anything to watch out for?
• How much for the part?
• Is it a dealer part or is pattern part available?

Cheers

Well, I can see this post was really interesting, but I will report my findings.

£7 for the cable from a dealer
removal is a case of pulling the old one out
re-fitting is a case of not running it the way it came out, just run infront of the sound proofing.

All in all, about 20 minutes work as it is a bit fiddley getting the cable back through the bulkhead.

Not if you had taped the new one to the old!, then as you pulled the old out you would have threaded the new in!!

Yea, I am sure that would work if it did not have a 90 degree bend in the cable.

Guess you have not seen one of these then.

Of course i have, i,d hardly call it a straight right angle tho, more of a gentle bend
