Great vid, thanks for posting. How do you release the plastic joiner between the two cables please? I have to do this on a 2016 Skoda Yeti, bought both cables new genuine and they look exactly the same as yours where they fit together. Thanks again!
Can i ask what the oval grommet is called that you held around 4 minutes 10 in the video please . Mine needs replacing as im getting water in the drivers footwell , and i feel this could be the problem .. TIA
Its more of a foam insert which goes into the wing so unlikely to be your problem. If you pause the video you might be able to make out the part number, or go to your nearest TPS centre and show them the car or video and it will be a few quid at most for a new one
You don't need to run it the old route. You can just drill a hole in bulkhead and pass it through then down into the grommet. The cable sheath takes up the cable slack so all you need to do is find a route. That's all ice just done.
@@fakevirus8828 my local garage did that work around because of the faff but now the cable is too slack because of the shortened length with the ad-hoc hole. So that doesn't work, unless you then move the bonnet release catch further down.. Which tightens the cable but pulls your bonnet out of alignment. So in summary, fix it the correct way, the way it was designed to be operated, otherwise it's just a domino effect and your otherwise nice looking car starts looking like a cocked bin. To think i paid the clowns and now have to fix it myself! I usually do all the work on my car because of this latest botched job. Never again.
Good video mate, done properly and no doubt no drama's following it.
👍
Thanks mate this video helped me a lot.
No problem
An absolute nightmare brought me here, bumper wing headlight off, wiper mech next
You are best of re-routing the cable like I did. That back cable is easy if you just reroute it via a drill hole in bulkhead.

Got this job to do on my girlfriends Jetta, was hoping it would be simple lol..
How long should a garage take , one hour?
Mine has stretched. Is there no adjustment? Do you have to replace it ? Thanks
No adjustment im afraid. I'd advise changing it before it snaps
The old one is no longer in the car, how do install it, without using the old one?
Use some nylon wire/ rope and tie the new one to it then pull it through

Any help for me 😆 I pulled old cable (new attached) and old one has snapped and can’t see it , should I see it if I take off scuttle ?
You don't need to, you can just reroute the cable.
Is it 2 pieces?
Will this work on mkv gti?
omg its a night mare
What!? Not even bud, I started cutting the frame in a heartbeat the cable was connected sicaflexed the frame back together on her jolly way home.
@@AABRIEL58 you don't even need to do that, I rerouted the cable completely.
@@fakevirus8828how?
They are terrible. I have had 3 mk5s and they all broke at some point.
What a waste of data
