You can get a Motive Products Brake Bleeder directly from Motive Products. They have a model specifically for European vehicles, including VW, here for $54.95 http://store.motiveproducts.com/shared/StoreFront/default.asp?CS=motive&StoreType=BtoC&Count1=586467921&Count2=503608345

They also have a universal model here for $62.95 http://store.motiveproducts.com/shared/StoreFront/default.asp?CS=motive&StoreType=BtoC&Count1=586467921&Count2=503608345

I have had mine (the Euro model) for about 5 years and I used it again this past week. It sure makes bleeding the brakes an easy task. Of course, you're reservoir will be a bit overfull when you finish. I use an old turkey baster to suck out the excess.

Thank you, Andy<<
