Gee... this new-fangled "post-bleeding" sounds just like the old-school way of bleeding brakes that goes back a century or so...

I've heard of "lifetime warranty" claims being denied on account of the merchant attributing the demise of the battery to a faulty charging system - whether true or not...

Sorry it took me so long - I haven't been frequenting this site for a little while... all our 2003s are currently non-functioning, and I haven't had time (or energy) to get around to fixing them... so for the time being, we got a 2016 gas-powered (Sacrilege!!!) Sportwagen... miss the ALH... A...

I have the original post - including photos - saved as a PDF... but I can't figure out how to upload it here...

As was stated.. it's a pain, but it's do-able... BTW - contrary to some of the postings out there, the little clip that holds the line to the master cylinder IS removable on my cars, so... care must be used... (an extra-long set of long-nose pliers is helpful...) PS: the part number for the...

OK... I give up... how does one get at the other end of the Clutch Hose (at the Master Cylinder) ?? I would hope you don't have to unbolt the ABS pump... I've been searching for a guide online, but none of them show you how to gain access...

I'll try to "borrow" a slave and a hydraulic line from my parts car - if I can figure out a way to get at the attachment to the master cylinder... it looks very tight in there...

2003 Jetta... lost the clutch, so I bled the system and noticed that it had been leaking where the line joins the slave cylinder. So I replaced the "O" ring (from the kit numbered 1K0 721 741... (I know it's now been superceded by 1K0 798 741). Still leaks... now these kits come with 2 "O" rings...

About 10 years ago I put a (used) pump in a used engine and found out I couldn't torque one of the bolts... so I drilled out the hole in the pump and put a regular bolt and 2 nuts from the hardware store down the street... it's still there, and the engine's run over 341700 km with it... (can't...

Wow... you've done a ton of work... I got a headache reading your linked thread, but will return to it soon... I have a Hex-USB+CAN cable, and somewhere in the world I have an old serial clone cable (probably packed away with a laptop that hasn't worked in years...) I also have some other...

No... I have VCDS and can read the ECU from time to time... I'd love to get something that will resemble a functioning odometer / cluster... I know that just getting a junkyard cluster won't work due to the immobilizer issue... (I'm sure my friendly local VW dealer would be glad to assist...

Of course, the odometer went to all dashes... (perhaps that's why it's called a dashboard...) Is there a not-terribly-expensive way to get something working in there? I know there used to be someone in the U.S. that could reset the clusters, but... we're in Canada, and with the border closed...

Are they selling "fixed" Mk6s in Canada? I thought that was only a U.S. thing... Y.

Follow-up - the leak was not from the "O" ring... it was from the actual hose assembly - where the hard line enters the "plug" that actually fits inside the slave cylinder. That's now fixed (with J.B.Weld) and there are no more leaks. However: after bleeding it the first time, the following...

Seatman - my clutch control is more like the following:

Putty stick...

OK... JB Welded... seems to hold... for now... I'm not sure how long this type of repair will last... hopefully it's quasi-permanent - but the resulting patch doesn't seem to be all that hardy... (I had to re-do it, and had no trouble destroying the original patch with pliers...) Thanks for...

Thanks... I'll give the JB Weld a shot... I'll see how tricky it is to remove the other end of the line from the seemingly inaccessible Master cylinder... Y.

If no access to a TIG welder, would low-temperature Aluminum solder/weld work here?

The leak is coming from the back end of the unit - where the hard hose goes into the metal fitting... both of your suggestions point to the front of the fitting - but they wouldn't reach the actual end of the hose, which appears to be internal... that fitting rotates along that hose, and the...
