Which Master Cylinder?
« on: 09 February 2008, 01:40 »
Hi guys

Just a quick couple of questions - my '91 spec 16v has decided it's time for a new master cylinder so I went on the GSF website and I'm confused.  Does anyone know if it's the 'BRAKE MASTER CYL-FAG 22mm' I need or the 'BRAKE MASTER CYL-22.2mm?' There's more than a tenner difference so I wondered whether it's best to have the FAG or the extra .2mm......

Also, is it a fairly straight-forward job to replace and can it be done from the engine compartment, or is it an 'under-the-dash' job?

Cheers

Just give them a call and tell them your engine number and get the right one. Get a garage to fit it though. Can cause problems. :smiley:

Tis easy enough - been there and done that, too.

Make sure you get the brake bias valve open when you're bleeding up.

they're both the right one just a typo, the only difference is the price/quality.
