The leaks are usually the Crappy gasket on the "Snorkel" on the rain tray. My Diesel P.U. leaked until I pulled the snorkel to do some work found the foam gasket was a little bit of powdert. I used some good closed cell foam gasket material to replace it & no more leaks during the usual PNW Rainy season.Iirc, the 6mm should be on the battery side and will pull from that side. It’s just a long socket cap.
My first GTI had working AC that leaked. I didn’t know how to find the leak, so I pulled the system...
I remember when buying GTIs and standard Rabbits.... pulling the AC system was the first thing I’d do.... probably worked fine, but didn’t work at the time.
I rationalized it as a handling improvement, since the York compressor and bracket weighed close to 50lbs....
Ah, to be young again.... I was almost clueless...
