ABF clutch cable

[T108]

hi guys.

has anyone here replaced the clutch cable on their abf?

mine has become sticky almost feels notchey, moves in jerks rather than smoothly making start stop driving a little difficult!

GSF and euro car parts dont list anything but is it the same as a mk3golf gti?

on another note are the rear shocks the same as mk4polo?

thanks guys

yeah replaced my cable, bitch of a job but easy enough also! lol...makes a world of difference.. you should make it a must do as you could end up with the pedal box faliure! arghhh

[CraigW]

Dealers would be your best bet.

[Mckellar]

are they as f*cking useless as the arnold cl*rk SEAT in Linwood, Glasgow?

I dont think thats possible actually

 

[CraigW]

I havent had any problems with my local dealer. Ive asked for the stuff and they have got it in for me.

Ive heard some can be bad tbh.

Yep that is true enough. I just have to look at the place I work and you get that exactly. I will get a decent wage though at the end of my apprenticeship.

meaning your a monkey?

meaning your a monkey?

No i aint one of the monkey, i will be a qualified engineer when Im finished in 8 months, so I will get decent money.

But the people who are paid peanuts are monkeys and as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

...................anyway back on thread, does anyone know if a mk3golf gti cable is the same?

Its not the same, 6K part number.

I did mine on my old 16v GTI, wasn't too bad a job. I only found it available at the dealer as its ABF specific, but with genuine parts you know they'll fit and last. The difference is amazing too!!

 

[T108]

guess i'll have to mission it to the dealers then!

i believe it is SEAT specific as the golf is hydraulic ??

personally i'd rather it was the other way round

 

[SKOT]

i got mine from car spares. £45 and the aa man kindly came round and fitted it free of charge. But he was swearing a far bit to be honest lmao and he said that it was a rite bitch of a job
