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 mk4Bug_racer supports the rebellion of the euro revolutionComment

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.
