I had the same with my VW earlier this year. The issue might not lie with the cable, but instead with the handbrake mechanism by the rear calliper that provides tension to the cable. Corrosion usually prevents it from returning back to its proper position, resulting in the slack cable.

Could also be an issue with the calliper itself.

Any got experience of replacing handbrake cable on a Skoda roomster / Fabia?
My self-adjusting yoke is being pulled at such an angle that the cable is pulling out of it, bodged with a zip-tie for now, don't worry I'm not driving it like this!
My question is whether this can be fixed without completely replacing the cables? Looking at the part and a few videos it doesn't seem like there's anywhere to adjust tension - they just have welded ferrules on both ends.
