Brake fluid reservoir.
« on: 17 May 2011, 20:05 »
Is the little rubber grommit that stops the plunger from shooting up in the lid of the brake fluid reservoir available from VW seperately. Mines perished so that it doesn't clip into place.

If not, would gluing it in place with my glue gun stop it from working as it should?

Easier said than done. Working all week, and nearest breakers is at least an hour away

I can probably find the little cap, its only just fallen off. Just doesn't clip in any more, hence wondering if I could glue it

I just popped one out my local breakers yard but as you mention, contact someone who's breaking a mk3 on eBay or put up a thread in the 'wanted' section over in the classifieds as im sure somebody will be able to send you one for pennies or nowt.

I know a guy breaking a MK3 in Bedford.

I'll give him a bell and see if he has one. If so I can take it to work with me if any good?
