Afternoon,
I'm having a right nightmare trying to source a decent quality clutch cable for my Ibiza 2.0 16v, has anyone found one yet?
As a parts guy I don't take chances and only buy genuine parts, however SEAT kindly discontinued the cable last year and I've yet to find a dealer group with one in stock. I've bought 4 cables from the motor factors so far, 1st one was wrong, 2nd one was used, 3rd one had a faulty self adjuster and the 4th was used and broken. Top tip for you guys, don't bother with First Line or Pagid cables, despite the brand name and price difference, they are the same cable made poorly in the same factory. The markings on both cables are in the same font and printed in the same places.
At the moment the only alternative I can find is to have a custom one made by a company called Cable-Tec. The website suggests that they do cables for motorsport and heavy industry so I'm sure they're up to the job but I suspect a single custom cable will cost me hundreds of pounds.
Has anyone managed to find an alternative brand that appears to be right first time and decent quality?
I'd really appreciate any help you have, at the moment I have a lovely low mileage car that's immobilised with a fast expiring MOT, to say I'm desperate is an understatement!
Thanks
Tom
