Subject:Linear or Cross-linked plastic in Brake Fluid Reservoir?
From:Max Wellhouse

Pretty sure the plastic in the various VAG brake fluid and coolant
resivoirs is polyethylene, but was curious to know if anyone could
tell me if the poly is linear(ie weldable if cracked) or cross-lined
(pretty much not weldable).

son has a cracked at the stem resivoir on his 83 Audi CGT at the
nipple and is having a hard time finding a replacement.  I think this
info would be useful for Vanagon owners as well as plastic parts
begin to get scarce.
