Refundable Core Charge

If a product you are purchasing has a core charge you will see it in your shopping cart under the product.

A core charge is a little like a bottle deposit. You pay a core charge when you buy a rebuildable product, and get your money back when you return the core.

Cores are the used parts that may be returned when purchasing rebuildable parts. New, used, and remanufactured products may have a core charge. We send cores to our rebuilders to create a remanufactured part. Having a core charge on most rebuildable parts helps us keep our prices low, is a great way to recycle, and ensures there is product available for the next customer. If a core deposit is shown, this charge will be added to your total at the time of sale but is refundable upon the return of your rebuildable original part. Cores are valuable to us; we need them back on a timely basis to be rebuilt so we have product to sell to the next customers. (See core return policy under warranties and return for more info)

If you have any concerns or questions about the core charge or shipping charges, please call us at 586.757.2300.

VW GTI emergency brake cable. Emergency brake cables run from the handbrake lever to each rear brake and are an essential part of the cable operated system that secures your VW GTI or GLI while parking, or in case your hydraulic system fails. It's best to replace them both at the same time as they deteriorate with use. Sold each, order two of these per vehicle to complete the job. Measures 1800mm/70.9". For calipers with 7mm bleed valve. Please check your cables- some of these vehicles use a shorter cable - if your measure 1613 mm (63 1/2 inches) long order part number 14110.

Condition: New

Warranty

All products carry a 100 day warranty. Engines, cylinder heads, and injection pumps carry an extended 12 month warranty. See our warranty page for details.

Do-it-Yourself Tip

The GTI, and GLI emergency brake cable can be changed on its own, but it still relies on the rest of your rear brakes to be working well. If you can't remember when you last inspected the brake components now is the best time, you will have most of it apart anyway.
