does anybody know if you can buy the bleed nipple seperately for the rear cylinders or can you only buy it as a complete assembly?? i had to use some good old fashioned analogue persuasion on mine in the form of a pair of mole grips

It's listed on Vagcat.com as Bleeder Screw part number 6U0611477

My local "car bits place", Motorists' Discount Centre cell all those sort of things separately.

Go to your local motor spares shop and if you can, take the old one with you - there is a huge variety of sizes and threads available.

I echo the above, and motor factors worth their salt will have a box with various different sorts in. Shouldn't be more than a few pence either.

Not got spares then Tom?

thanks geezers ^^^ if skoda list them as a spare i might as well get genuine ones
