What is this?!

Please can someone help me identify this resevoir??

reservoir by bonus!, on Flickr

I'm using a mk2 16v master cyclinder by GSF - will it be compatible? It would be great if a part number could be advised aswell because I cannot access VagCat at the moment!!

Brake fluid reservoir, vagcat seems to be done and I'm not sure where my memory stick with ETKA is. I would assume they are compatible but don't take my word for it.

depends on how many holes it has for the MC? that MC looks a little short?

i might be wrong but i think that is a mk2 LHD reservoir? any reason why you cant just use a mk2/3 reservoir

Yes its a mk3 lhd resevoir from a non abs vehicle - not available here, and i ordered from the US in the end. I like the shape, as opposed to the offset block shaped one on most mk3's here.

Its a bit grubby though, anyone bleached theirs? I was thinking of just using a bit of ordinary household bleach…?

whats the part number on it, might be cheap to buy from vw

Part number i have is 1H1611307A

I did try my local dealers but they couldnt get them in (think they were just feeling picky)

Pretty common part in LHD territories, so ebay'd it think i paid about 25 quid all in, bit of a rip but i need to get my brakes finished

company called old era, they seem to have some useful bits

that number doesnt exist in etka, i have it listed as 1H1 611 301A for a lhd reservoir, 30+VAT

Spot on mate, so you can get hold of one new?? I'll give this one a clean and see how it comes up but I may still try and get a new one if its possible

yep that part number is still available as of today according to my copy, but there is always the chance it will drop off the parts database after you order it as i found when i tried to get a scirocco 16v relay shaft!

i think you should be ok though as these are still used up to 2003 on the caddy so unlikely they'll be deleted any time soon

It was wierd - VW said they were available but he just goes 'but we cant get them in.' didnt really say why. Just gotta get them in the right mood i guess

Is there anywhere online where you can enter part numbers and purchase them at the same time? I normally use AVS but there stock is limited. VW dont seem to want to post any of my parts either is a right pain.

Cheers for your help

could be they wont order in lhd parts, but that would be a bit crap if oyu had an import so id say yeah he couldnt be arsed!

you could try giving bbt a bell:
