What Master Cylinder Do I Need?

[munster 0]

Possibly a stupid question - my brake m/c has 'BXF 20' stamped down the side of it.

Does this mean it has the 20.6mm piston?

 

GSF have told me i need the 19mm as i do not have ABS. ( i hope they are right, as they have these in stock for £37!)

 

Can somebody confirm which i need?

 

thanks

there's a cheap Herman Munster gag in here somewhere

 

 

 

i thought the 1.9 had a 20.6mm m/c (sorry, it's not clear if that's what yours started out as)

1.9 is the 20.6mm but DO NOT buy a pattern part from GSF. Get them to order you in a genuine Bendix unit. They aren't much more and the pattern ones are terrible.

what the dude said!

 

they'll do a Bendix unit, which the MK2 Golf uses as well, for about £36.

So the 1.9 is 20.6mm does that mean the 1.6 is 19mm? Or is that down to wether the car has ABS?

 

GSF cant get the 20.6 mm ones anymore apparently..

I would use the 16v Golf/1.9 205 Bendix one, I;d get GSF to check that as it's a common part, Don;t use the pattern ones as they really are *****

I know GSF have changed all there numbers so this could well be why

 

Don;t worry about it having 4 ports as they all do, But supplied is a blanking plug

 

ABS ones only have 2 ports
