WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Volkswagen Beetle, 2015 Volkswagen Beetle, 2014 Volkswagen Beetle, and 2013 Volkswagen Beetle. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Flare brake lines with 5 mm outer diameter using Brake Line Tool Kit VAS6056 without damaging coating. In this way, brake lines can be inexpensively partially replaced in certain cases.

Working with Brake Line Kit V.A.G. 1356 is not permitted because of the coating and diameter of black brake lines.

NOTE:

The brake lines may be bent maximum 90° otherwise they will break or be permanently deformed.

If the brake line is bent more than 90°, the diameter of the line will be changed.

Disconnect brake lines preferably at underbody.

Position of intermediate pieces should be selected so that they cannot rub against moving parts.

Do not lubricate spindle, clean only with mineral spirits.
