    Tdi?

    That's a worry, Andrew. Same setup as the TDI?

      This is nothing new . Check the front of mk3 golfs , crimp the line and you will start seeing cracks appear . Ive had 1 car come in with brake fluid starting to seep from one of these cracks . These kind of checks are the difference between a good mechanic and an average one . Well spotted though , especially on a mk4

        Cheers Bug racer. Mainly pointing it out for the benefit of others. Yes, mk3 fronts and also mk2s go where the rubber retaining loop attaches to the strut body.
        I have heard of mk4 rear probs but this is the first that I have seen. About $60 each, genuine but a lot cheaper than a life,eh?! 2003 model too.

          Similar Brackie but don't worry, the mk5s shouldn't have any problems there for a while. I have never had to replace a mk1 rear hose yet.
