Speedo cable help please urgent

Hi please can somebody help me

my speedo cable has snapped

my clocks are mk2 and the connection on the gearbox end is a metal round screw cap onto the gear box. my engines a 2.0 16v conversion with o2a gearbox

can anyone tell me where to get a replacement cable from and which model it's from.

I'll hopefully get some pictures up soon

cheers quinny

GSF would peobably do one mate…. if I was you I'd remove it, take it to GSF and then compare it  :dontknow:

apparantly it's a 1.6 gti cable well that's what my mate seems to have narrowed down to, however he can't find anywhere that sells it anymore, Gsf were no use

I'm stuck here as I'm trying to sell the thing and this has just happened, bloody typical help is desperately needed

I imagine it must be either a Mk1/2 cable for it to go in the clocks, pretty sure no others fit.

O2A is a pretty common box, best get a pic up as mentioned earlier mate!

If all else fails (or not!), try

yep I'm am going to try pick the cable back up Wednesday or if I can't get down he is going to send me some pictures as he is in Birmingham tuesday, he has had no joy searching the guys in GSF told him it was a 1.6 GTI cable which he can't locate

thanks for the help guys hopefully pictures will help you identify it so keep a watch out when I post them, need this fixed as i want to sell the golf on, not good if advert it just sat on the driveway last few days lol

Have you thought of trying the cabby one??

no I haven't mate, may be worth a try, need to pick the cable up off my mate this week when i get chance and get few pictures up, hopefully it should help clearly identify it and make my search easier

Was just thinking the cabby ran along side the mk2 for several years and we all know what the VAG group are like for using "the parts bin"

I have one of my car as it's not working, maybe able to get some pics if that helps.

yeah sound mate, the pictures I have seen on big boys toys of mk1 speedo the gear box connection looks like a smooth metal piece that slots in. mine has the thread with a metal round cap at the end that screws on top of the gearbox

The cabby one is the slot in type, held in with a random sized bolt, so I think this is where the difference lays.

The speedo end is a round clip type thing with a small square drive into the back of the gauge sounds like you need a mk2 cable…

its a smallblock cable you need for an 02a gearbox. if it has MK2 clocks you need late spec 1.3 mk1, or mk2 1.0-1.3 may fit but you'll probably need to change the bulkhead grommets

Guys thankyou so much for all your replies, once the cables back home ill load up a picture just to confirm, working nights does suck  at times, so hard to find time to get down to GSF and ask them if they had some of the cables mentioned in stock

Cheers Quinny

yeah thats late mk1 1.3 cable
