Dorman - OE Solutions Hood Release Cable P/N:912-008
Reconnect the interior release lever to the hood latch with the Dorman hood release cable, part number 912-445, a direct-fit replacement for the 1999-2009 Volkswagen Jetta and 1999-2010 Volkswagen Golf. This Dorman - OE Solutions hood release cable assembly is built to take the place of a worn-out or broken cable. It links the lever in the cabin to the latch so the hood can be unlatched from inside the vehicle.
Signs this part may need replacing include a release lever that feels loose or offers no resistance, a lever that must be pulled unusually hard, or a hood that stays latched when the lever is pulled. The lever and latch can cause similar symptoms, so check them as well. If a stretched or broken cable is the cause, this assembly replaces it. Engine details and the full application list are in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
