coupe master cylinder

[passat TS]

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

It will probably come without the reservoir, but with the gaskets. Then you'll
remove the from the old one and press it into the new one.

Don't forget to bench bled the new MC, and verufy if the gasket between the MC
and the booster came with it (also coat this gasket with a little of brake
fluid).

Otherwise it is a simple R/R.

Good luck,

Carlos.
