I used to go through these on my g40. I found that the genuine cables were thicker side by side with a gsf one (the inner cable). This meant that the feel of the pedal was heavier with the vw one. I found that the rubber of the gsf one where it secured onto the box was crap and always spilt and pushed through. In the end I made a hybrid of the two. I used the lighter gsf cable, genuine vw zinc coated nuts, washers etc and on the cnc machine at work I made nylon bushes to replace the rubber ones. This made the pedal feel much better and it never ever split. A good soaking in oil in a bucket for a few days is a good call too for a nice light clutch.
