Replacing inner door catch release cable

slackbladder · 12-05-2008, 22:05

Hi,
I have an S reg 1.6 GLXi and I can't open the drivers door from the inside.
When I removed the door panel I found that the cable had broken.
Can any one recommend where I can get a replacement?
and; how much I can expect to pay for one?

I find skoda dealers are very frustrating when it comes to identifying spare parts.

I find VW garages are much better. Does anyone agree?

Regards;

Chris

Shouldnt have a problem with Skoda. Take your chassis number and they will be able to look up the correct part.

I replaced one for a mate a few weeks back, had done the same thing. Not a difficult job but you do have to take the door handle and catch out to get the back end of the new cable on.

I got one last year and it was a shade over £11. Don't have the part number though.

hi, Got one for 8 pounds.
When I fitted it the lock ring for the cylinder fell out and I am having difficulty refitting it.
Can any one help?
