I'm trying to help a friend who has a 2004 Jetta tdi with what appears to be a failing master cylinder for the clutch. There's a small amount of brake fluid leaking at the firewall. She's able to drive it, but it's only a matter of time before she'll get stranded.
It appears that I need to remove the entire engine air-cleaner housing, but I struggled with the MAF electrical coupling. I thought I may've needed some secret, special tool for this, but a video I happened upon suggests I just need to eat some Wheaties and pull the damn thing apart. Has anyone ever done this before? And am I missing something? We'll have another crack at it tomorrow and any suggestions will be much appreciated.
