Might seem crazy but....i can't think of anything else i can do..

ok ,plenum is off, still trying to replace the master cylinder.

The only thing that is stopping me get the old one out, is one 10mm bolt on the hydraulic line.

It is stuck fast, it's not moving at all, tried various tools.

If worst comes to worst, then can the Pipe be cut??

that way the old master cylinder will be able to be freed from the fluid line And pulled out the bulkhead.

Then could the pipe be re-joined (like an extension pipe. if so where could i get the stuff from to do it?) and all put into the new cylinder and all fitted?

Any other suggestions at all???

Or would it be best to replace the whole pipe??

Thanks in advance!!

It would be better to replace the whole pipe!

You'd have to take it out to re flare the pipe anyway :wink: Just find a friendly garage to make one up for you. The nuts on the ends are M10x1 male :wink:

just found out that the GTi & R have hydraulic clutches, the rest are cable driven.

sorted it anyway.
