Which Master Cylinder Do I Need?

Recommended Posts

Flix

Hi

The master cylinder on my car is faulty, on Eurocarparts there are two to choose from.

19mm with 4 outlets.

20.6mm with 3 outlets.

The car is a 1987 1.9 GTI, I think I need the 19mm one but would it be an advantage to fit the larger one.?

3 outlets are fine as I have fitted a bias valve to the rear and lost the compensators.

The one fitted at the Factory was the larger 20.6 one, Make sure it's a Bendix one as the pattern ones are poor quality, they all come with blanking plugs to fill any un-used holes

Check out GSF too, I bought a Bendix master cylinder from them a couple of weeks ago and it was about 10 quid cheaper than eurocar parts I think.

Miles is 100% right about pattern parts. I felt the pain recently of fitting a crapola pattern MC. It failed straight out the box - but not until after I'd fitted it.

 

Get a Bendix one from GSF - only £28 if I recall.

 

Mine was a 20.6mm
