    Wierd brake leak

    I think the T4 has it in for me, might stick with s2 from now on

    Driving home the other night and the brakes start to feel a little spongy.

    Have a poke around and find a leak from a 4 way metal coupling under the bonnet. Nipped all 8 unions up with me flair nut spanner and got her in doors to put foot on brake whilst I watched and got sprayed in the face with brake fluid

    The fecking 4 way connector has a dirty great crack down one side
    I'm glad I did not find it when braking on the motor way!

    To add insult to injury vw want silly money for what is just a brake line coupler.

    Pictures speak a thousand words; hose was a temporary repair, £3.50 worth of female couplers have done the job permanently I hope.
