Big yellow tube
« on: 26 November 2007, 14:28 »
Guys,

I was reconnecting my rear washer jet hose in the passenger side C Pillar and discovered a yellow tube which wasn't connected to anything. Any ideas what this is used for?

Close.. but not quite. Its the sunroof drain. VW stuck one on each side even if your car doesn't have a sunroof.

You know what else they all have? An annoying f*cking handbrake mechanism on the rear calipers that really f*ck your fingers up when trying to clip the handbrake cable in on a frosty afternoon.
