I don't think there's any way to salvage leaky ones. New ones should be
available at almost any FLAPS with a day or so wait, or from any of the
online VW vendors. Ours are the same as those for Beetles. I have them, too,
but you can probably get a better deal locally with no shipping.

Yes if I can get one at a FLAPS  around here where pick up and muscle cars
are king then you can get them anywhere.  The one I got at my FLAPS here in
town sold me a pretty good one. I tested it out with a gage and the light
comes on at about 4 or 5 PSI.  Very rare I can get anything for clementine
at this store.
