The rear section of a Mk5 RS2000 2 piece cable is what you need.

Depending on what orientation you mounted the calipers in, the cable may be a tight stretch.

Its the passenger side which isn't adjustable which is usually a little bit tight, mine was JUST long enough.

Mounting the calipers at 12 o'clock is the best place for a number of reasons.

Hope this helps
