Clutch cable alarm

Purchasing classics there

And not only for owners of AUDI 100s with an 1900 cc five-cylinder engine. A broken clutch cable? Can happen. If that broken clutch cable belongs to a car that doesn't have millions driving around?

Then such a cable is also quite findable, but it may take a day longer to get it home.

In the context of 'Own People First', the cable was ordered locally from a real car parts company. For those people it was best to search, but a cable could be supplied.

The new cable arrived, costing a proud 61 euros and… Did not work because the manufacturer had forgotten a reaction ring. The outer cable was supported on rubber for this. When the clutch was operated, the clutch was not operated, but the outer cable retracted into the rubber block.

That could be solved, but we expected more for six decades. That cable went back and the search went to the internet. A cable with the correct AUDIN number was found for 30 euros. It was ordered, arrived, and was the same as the first.

Then it became the sport to dive deeper into the internet. The source of these cables turned out to be in China where they cost $ 6,20 each. The photo next to the product showed that the required reaction ring ... was missing.

With that information we searched further and we found a German trader who responded to our question with: "Habe ich ja, und meine haben die reaktionsring". Look, before we asked about it.

The correct cable arrived three days later and cost including shipping 32 euros.

So be careful with ordering coupling cables
