mk1 cable? Link to supplier please? I need two lol.
No argument here, on either point.
I just got a Cofle speedo cable today that is an obvious POS, lacks ANY markings on the cable itself
when I know damn well a few years ago they were rollmarked just like a Gemo or VDO or anything else.
One more company on my *** list.
The hold-down is cast wrong, and pot metal, and broke, and it's still making noise.
Lubed with graphite, forgot to lube tip at gauge and hopefully that will shut it up.
We will see if it leaks, I'll probably order another one of another brand anyway.
Sigh.
That's too bad, I've a couple of 3-4 year old Cofle cables, e-brake and speedo and they seem like good quality, Italian made FWIW.
Almost as if you would be better off with used parts in some instances
Very much so. In fact I sell used Porsche parts for a living, ironically.
I don't have much of a selection of used rabbit stuff near by though right now.
I'll shut up about the speedo cable, but I also noticed tonight that the original VDO cable had a plastic square drive tip at the speedo, and this metal one is noisy even after greasing it, right where it enters the speedo. Jerkoffs.
