Product Details and Specifications
This brake master cylinder features a cast iron body for enhanced durability and a plastic reservoir material to resist corrosion. It has a straight bore design with a 0.787 inch (20 mm) diameter, providing consistent hydraulic pressure. The unit includes two mounting holes for secure attachment and five ports with M10-1.00 thread size and bubble flare type outlets for reliable brake line connections. While the gasket or seal is included to ensure a tight seal, mounting hardware, reservoir, push rod, brake booster, and master cylinder cap are not included. The brake pressure switch is required for operation but must be sourced separately.
Common Applications and Problem Resolution
- Restores proper brake fluid pressure in Volkswagen Jetta brake systems
- Replaces worn or leaking master cylinders in Rabbit Convertible models
- Addresses brake pedal sponginess or failure in Rabbit Pickup vehicles
- Eliminates brake fluid leaks caused by damaged seals or bores
- Ensures consistent brake response and safety compliance
Installation Notes and Tips
Ensure the brake pressure switch is installed separately as it is required for proper system function. Use the included gasket or seal to prevent fluid leaks. Verify the two mounting holes align correctly with the vehicle’s brake system mounting points. Since mounting hardware and reservoir are not included, reuse existing components or acquire replacements as needed. Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove air and restore brake responsiveness.
