8v GTi - Bleeding brakes
« on: 17 May 2012, 12:18 »
Am I completely nuts, or is there no brake fluid reservoir in the engine bay of a mk3 Golf?

Need to do the brakes all round and when I came to look for the reservoir, it's nowhere to be found. I have located the MC, but can't see anywhere any pipework goes to a reservoir.

Please help me before I call the men in white coats to come and take me away

I'll be giving myself a hoooooj face palm if it's totally obvious! I've worked on more engines than had hot meals, and serviced all my own cars for the last 14 years!
