[Vwdiesel] brake master cylinder adaptor

[paul lew]

  I think I'm picturing right how to build it, but does somebody have a picture of it, and instructions on how to use it? are you pumping fluid through that valve? opening each bleeder individually? same procedure for manual bleed ? 
  Thanks

  Here is a picture of one very similar to what I
purchased.

You can see that there is a nut and washer, those
would go on top of the brake res cap, and the rubber
part would go under it.

Remember, you'll need to remove the valve core. The
place I bought mine from allowed me to use a tool to
do it there in the store when I bought it. It is a
simple tool that sticks down in the valve to simply
unscrew the core.
