It had to happen sooner or later
mjmallia:
Just spotted it, in one of my clutch change photos.
Potential upgrade coming then.
pudding:
Can't see the pic at work but it's round the back under the ABS pump :happy2:
I don't know how much another donut thingy is from VW, or if it's even available separately to the rigid lines, but this is what I used - https://www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/products/02m-02q-braided-clutch-line-kit.html
If the car is a keeper, it seems wise deleting as much crappy plastic as possible!
Upon further investigation, it seems the little pipe retaining clip had rusted away, causing the line to blow out! Said clips are also on the clutch bleeding block, so you might want to check all the clips while you're there :happy2:
mjmallia:
Thanks. I may invest in that soon.
I assume it replaces the entire length from the master to box?
pudding:
Yep :happy2:
It's worthwhile doing anyway as it makes the shifting much more consistent, especially when hot where the 14 year old rubber section of the OEM line starts expanding.

Just so you know pudding, I came from an f30 330d msport to my current pirelli edition. I only owned the beemer for 6 months before doing a deal with some local guy, it was so bloody boring, even with a stage 1 map. The chassis is good but the steering is nothing short of awful. No feel what so ever.
But, it was a lovely car to look at and be in and the ZF box is superb. Just some food for thought mate.
