WooDooUK 1 Posted November 11, 2008 Hi All, In my 1.9 GTI i currently have 206 GTI 180 Calipers with Mintex 1144 pads, pushed by a 406 Master Cylinder. I fitted the 406 Master cylinder to eliminate the excess travel found with the standard 205 cylinder. however it made very little (if any) difference, but the pedal does also feel as if there is a little play in the pedal rather than just the extra travel. Any Ideas what this could be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted November 11, 2008 check what size the 406 master cylinder is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spiky 37 Posted November 11, 2008 you didn't need to change the MC for those breaks as the caliper is slight smaller than the gti6 57 v 54 i'd put the 205 MC back on, well buy a new one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTI6BOY 29 Posted November 11, 2008 same here...i dont know why people do this. A new 205 part and the brakes are awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted November 11, 2008 check what size the 406 master cylinder is. Aren't all 406 master cylinders the same size @ 23.8mm? Certainly all the ones I've ever seen have been. Has the servo pushrod been adjusted to suit the new m/c or is it still the same as it was for the 205 one? IIRC some people that have fitted the 406 m/c have had to adjust the pushrod so it was longer to suit the new m/c or they've had a long travel. I agree with the two coments above though, on the one car I drove with the 306 GTi-6 conversion the standard m/c was fine when the brakes were bled up properly imo. Graham.
