Master Cylinder Query

[Eliganza 2]

Hello all,

 

After not much success with a 2nd hand master cylinder, I'm going to buy a new one from GSF. However, there are 3 options available for my car; abs (which it isn't so I won't be using that one) or two non-abs cylinders. One has a 20.6mm piston, the other a 19mm. Both have four ports apparently; can I fit either of them? The original one was a 19mm, but if the 20.6 will fit I'll use that because its cheaper

 

Cheers,

 

Sam

205 GTi should have a 20.6mm one - 19mm is for base models.

And make sure you get the Bendix one, the cheap ones are rubbish

I bought mine today from GSF. if you go to their shop and give your reg they will give you the correct one (usually) The one i got today was a bendix and cost £47

[Eliganza 2]

Ahhh I see, thanks guys. Did they have one on the shelf? I don't want to order one online and get fobbed off with a crap one

I got mine from gsf heathrow and asked them for a bendix one. But i have just checked the code on my box and looked on the website and mine is listed as 19mm. the 20.6mm is cheaper but not sure if its bendix. Anthony do you think I should take it back and insist on a 20.6mm?

they fit mk2 golfs too so a fairly common item.

 

just look at the listings, pretty self explanatory, the premium item is 652VG0200, £40.14

 

standard item 652VG0201 £31.80

 

 

GSF heathrow depot have 3 according to the inventory.

Yes - why pay more money for something that isn't the correct part?

 

Oh, and don't trust anything that GSF or ECP comes back with using your registration plate!

If you say I need a 20.6 then il take your word for it I havent known you to ever be wrong just I cant find anything on the web. All I can see is that some base models had 17mm MC's

[Eliganza 2]

The premium item is the 19mm though, I could order the 20.6 but I wouldnt know if it was a bendix one :s

[Anthony 1,002]

17.5mm was used on some rare early base models without a brake servo.

 

19mm was used on all base models with a servo

 

20.6mm was used on GTi's and some other higher spec models, with either 2, 3, or 4 outlets depending on spec (ie ABS, 1.6 or 1.9)

cheers Anthony pleased I came across this thread before fitting it tomorrow.

 

Eliganza, im taking my bendix 19mm code: 652pc0070 back and swapping it for Bendix 20.6mm code 652vg020 I suggest you get the same mate.

[welshpug 1,646]

doesnt matter which brand it is, might even be a bosch box, just dont get the cheap one

 

I posted the part numbers for you too.

 

I dont bother using the reg either.

[Eliganza 2]

Sorry, I was being stupid! Ordered the premium 20.6mm one, cheers for the help guys.

I thought disc/disc was 20.6mm and disc/drum (eg 1.6 GTi) was 19mm.

Not in the uk, all GTI models should have the 20.6mm master cylinder but this could be different in other countires such as Oz.

Reason I ask is found these on eBay:

The seller has confirmed they are genuine Bendix and quoted the manufactures number when I asked him. Seems to good to be true?

[Anthony 1,002]

Can't (or rather couldn't - they sold out earlier this evening) really go wrong with a genuine Bendix part for £20 delivered
