Thanks for the suggestion. I looked in vain for a cable coupler at Lowes  and
several auto parts and hardware stores. No luck. I did rig something up on
the end of the cable that I crimped on and then added some JB weld to see if it
 will hold for 2-3 days until the replacement cable comes in. I found that
the  local VW dealership wants about $38.75 for the cable and the boot on the
end  runs $30.00 (not gonna pay that for a rubber boot). I found a cable from a
local  import shop that will be in 1 day sooner than the dealership for
$25.00. I am  still in search of the boot that goes over the end of the cable. Does
anyone  have a good used one for sale or know of a more affordable source for
one? Mine  has been damaged for years now but I want to keep the end clean/dry
to get the  maximum life from the new one. Thanks
