To add more brake fluid, the containder is located under the air filter. You have to take off the air filter to get under enough to get to it.

I have a 2003 New Beetle convertible I've been fighting with this morning. When I removed the plenum, and kept looking, I did finally find the brake reservoir (yellow cap, under some stuff and way in back). It's hard to get to, but I was able to get the cap off. However, I had to go back to the auto parts store to get a funnel with a long neck because that's the only way to get the fluid in without taking a bunch of hoses off. It can be done. Next step is getting the cap back on because of the grooves and the tightness of its location. Not fun.

Pour the break fluid in the break fluid compartment under the hood. Was this a serious question?

It is a serious question. I found the brake fluid compartment, however there seems to be an impediment to pouring it into the compartment. They don't make it easy on purpose.

The brake fluid reservoir is on the brake master cylinder. The master cylinder is under the hood on the driver side. It is up near the base of the windshield.
