T5.1 Electric door cable replacement on Caravelle LHS (passenger side) - I cannot source a new spool?!?

[da_murphster]

Hi all,

I've been battling this for months.

2009 T5.1 Caravelle with common knackered electric door cable failed on the LHS (passenger side).

I've ordered the replacement cable set to avoid shelling out £500+ for entire new motor and cable assembly from VW but my plastic spool is also a bit tired and I'm keen to renew it if possible.

Problem is everything I order seems to have a different centre pattern to my original one and doesn't work?

Any one had similar and solved this issue? I've had 3 kits now and all wrong, despite the adverts showing photos of the correct part that I need?

I did! I dont really understand why it was so hard to source bits for such a common issue and vehicle.

You need these:

LST kit is the only one I could find that was actually correct. Imported from germany as much cheaper.

Pretty easy job following a youtube guide - just getting the correct bit was the issue.

Was spot on after its fix.

Good luck.
