–  Depress brake pedal at least 60 mm using brake pedal depressor -V.A.G 1869/2-.
–  Close front left and rear left bleeder valves.
–  Do not remove brake pedal depressor -V.A.G 1869/2-.
  Note
Ensure no brake fluid gets onto contacts.
–  Pull cover off bulkhead and unclip brake lines.
–  First identify both brake lines from brake master cylinder and unscrew from hydraulic unit.
–  Seal threaded holes immediately using sealing plugs from the assembly part kit, part no. 5Q0 698 311.

–  Pull hydraulic unit together with control unit upwards out of dampers -arrow-.
Installing
Install in reverse order. Note the following points:
  Note
Remove sealing plugs from new hydraulic unit only when the corresponding brake line is to be fitted.
If sealing plugs are removed too early from the hydraulic unit, brake fluid can escape, and it can then no longer be guaranteed that the unit can be sufficiently filled and bled.
When installing the hydraulic unit, ensure that rubber dampers are not pressed out of bracket.
