Clutch cable snapped!

Post by ed_the_robot »

Hello everyone...

So my first ever T25 breakdown after a month of ownership, not to bad aye!

I'm currently typing this on my ipad whilst waiting for a recovery truck. Only a few miles from home!

The clutch cable went twang, could someone please let me know if its the 3890mm clutch cable I need, I assume it is!

1600 ct engine, so no hydraulics for me.. Thanks muchly!

Not on 1600 CT's and very early LHD 2.0 CU's

Thats the right cable then VW part number 252 721 335 Gemo part number 433830.
Check it is not the link between the clutch pedal and cable that has not broken first.
