clutch master cylinder connector- urgent help

[bbuk2004]

can any one shed light on the problem that i am having obtating a part for the audi a3 1.8t.

basically on the master clutch cylinder there was a plastic L shapped connector that connects to metal union pipe. the L shaped part was leaking so i went to gsf and bought a new master cylinder but it doesn't come with the L shaped connector. also its not listed on the parts diargrame below. according to the diagram the metal union goes in to the master cylinder with out the L shaped connector. however, the metal union needs to be bent to get it in to the master cylinder. bending this will probably damage the pipe.

can some one have a look on there car and see if they have a L shapped connector.

thanks in advance

not to sure what you mean, do you mean part number 23a? because i cant see an L shaped part on the MC, tbh i am having a bad day so i could just be blind lol

its similar to 23a but its an L shapped connector connected to my master cylinder.then it connects to the metal hose connector.

either the diagram is wrong or some one has fitted a different hose connector in the past with the L piece.

just so annoying as this L connector doesnt exist

if you have a look here there is a L collector on this pipe.

is that normal part for the audi 1.8t cos its not listed on the above diagram and it it doesnt come with the master cylinder.

is there a part number or does it come part of the entire clutch hose
