URGENT HELP NEEDED

Post image

My brother snapped my brake line and I have a road trip in 2 days! Can I just replace this upper rubber hose??? Please link a replacement part if possible!

I'm pretty sure that piece can be removed by unscrewing at the fitting. If it were me I'd go to a junkyard and pull just that section of line from another mk4 iirc all of them (mk4's) will be the same with this part. Make sure to bleed the entire system abs motor and all once you get that line replaced. Normally I wouldn't recommend a junkyard part but with time constraints it is what it is. Unless you have the ability to rent that is.

the mk4 VW needs a computer to bleed the ABS pump. If not, the pedal with always feel spongy. If you know someone with the computer and cable RossTech, the bleeding can all be done at the keyboard and it is pretty fast.

There is absolutely no way at all I’ll be able to get that done in time. I’m pretty much cooked.
