Try the new clutch first mate, it will make the most difference. Clutch cable you could probably fit yourself at a later date if needed.

I did investigate changing the clutch, but most garages suggested changing the cable first. I'm sure at some point in the future I'll change the clutch but its working well enough for now, just occasionally truculant
A new clutch cable was about £25-30 from Liverpool VW, obviously any dealer should be able to get one. Don't go to Euro Car Parts because the cable part is a generic copy and whatever I did I wasn't able to get it to fit (it doesn't include the spring the VW part includes).

Womble is correct about trying the cable first, but seeing you all ready have the clutch kit, try one first then the other.

Getting my new clutch kit & cable fitted today. Was going to buy a Sachs clutch kit, but the garage said that the parts would not be covered by their warranty if it fails.
So i just asked what clutch kit they used, they said it was a LUK one & will have 12 month parts warranty, so iam happy.

lmao I work in the transport industry.
I bet you cant get any warranty on the clutch if it fails.
It is a wearing item, and therfore you wont get warranty.
