You could try Volkspares in Croydon, 0208 683 7442. They sell a lot of old parts.

Looking at VAGCAT, the Golf one closest in length 1795mm is part number 172 957 803K. It is 65mm shorter than the MK2 Scirocco one.

Is it worth a shot? What is the cost?

Call VW Heritage. They are having Gemo make a batch of Mk2 speedo cables (534-957-803). I've got one order, I'm sure they'll be happy to sell you one too.

Best,
Tom

OK - got this from Andy at Heritage.

Hi Sean,

Thanks for getting in touch.
I've spoken with our product managers and they are going to order 25 on next month's purchase order.
I would imagine an 8 week wait from now, to see them with us.

Probably easiest for club members to order direct from us, they'll get 5% off the retail price of them as club members.
I'll get a post put up / or email you when they land.

If you would like to reply to comments about the cable with the above news, then please go ahead.

Thanks for highlighting this need, and glad we have been able to assist.

Hmmm - my understanding was they already ordered these cables some time ago and were just waiting on them from Gemo. I'll check with Heritage as well. Maybe Andy can shed some light on this.

Thanks,
