I assume this is the overflow line that needs to be closed off. I used a ziptie and folded it back against itself and the damn thing still leaked fluid through the bottom if the wheel well under presure of the Motive Bleeder. Is it safe to use a C-clamp on this thing and pinch it down or what. I don't want to do damage if this isn't it.
TIA

Tom- you're trying to clamp it in the wrong place! get some vice grips or c-clamp and apply it to the flexible cloth part of the hose, not the hard line there. Thanks for the laugh, though!

Thanks Eric, and slap me stupid if you ever see me in person !!!

Tom, you have one of the few TTs with an overflow. I have only seen these on a few '96s. They changed sometime early in the production year. Good luck with the brake bleeding...

If you do a search, you'll find a thread with all the info to do the update (new cap, plug for the overflow, etc.). I did it to my car to eliminate the annoyance of forgetting to clamp the darn hose.
