Are you referring to the yellow reservoir cap?

I think the OP is referring to the small, circular yellow sticker on one side of the black plastic brake reservoir cap. Looking at the sticker, it provides simple directions to twist off the cap.

How about a pic of what you're talking about OP so we don't have 3 different guesses?

Not on or under the cap. It's on top of the body of the reservoir. AND...what's OP mean. Surely nothing nasty, I hope. Not that I'm paranoid of anything...ha,ha.
Thanks

OP just means "Original Poster", and I think this is what you're talking about

It's the IVA symbol for containers holding brake fluid, here's a thread on it~

That round thing? That's a plastic cap over the brake fluid reservoir, supplying hydraulic fluid managed by the master cylinder, attached to the brake servo.



What are you looking at? Kind of want to go out look at my car now...

IVA brake sticker
I thought the yellow thing was a "Turbonator" for a minute.

No I'm he's talking about the yellow stop-sign shaped sticker, on our Gs it's just stuck to the white fluid case.

My cap on my 08 is nothing like that and has no yellow anywhere. That's why I requested a photo. Without that we're all guessing as to what he might be talking about.

OMG, I can't take this any more! (LOL) Here's a pic of my 2011. The OP is right, there is clearly a sticker there. I believe that's a universally recognized symbol for "brakes".

And before someone asks about the reservoir to the right... I have a 6MT

The only think I will ask is why the hell do you allow your fluid to get so damn dark without changing it? Maybe you should be driving an AT?
