Are you referring to the one on the bottom of the rad?

I'm sure I got mine off easily enough if I'm thinking about the right thing. You tried going underneath the car?

buy a new one, no point messign about as they;'re dirt cheap. i would replace both cos if one is leaking the other wont be far behind. i use AVS ones no bother in the past but vw ones arnt that expensive. just i can order avs with a few clicks of the mouse :)

sorry i meant to say, for the flanges you need to look in the corrado section as mk2 section doesnt have them for some reason!

looks like they only do the side flange, the front ones are 16v, G60 and 2.0 8v only. GSF do the front one though as well as the side one
