Hi, yep speedo is driven off nearside front hub, hence the ham-"interfered with" one has damaged it, by the sound of things! I thought VW still kept them,may be wrong but they should be able to get one easy enough in the trade, German & Swedish, Euro car parts etc. Sounds like bull***t to me.

Eh?
check they havent just managed to pull the cable out there should be a clip on the end of the cable where it passes through the grease cap on the hub..

I am sure JK or GSF still do speedo cables...

JK certainly do them but there are 2 different types depending on the fitting at the speedo end. One clips on, the other has a knurled knob. Check what type ypu need before ordering.

Almost forgot - its been said above but mine had just pulled out of the hub as the circlip was missing.
