Clutch slave & master cylinder pricing...

[passat TS]

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

Gerard,

Try places like bimmerparts.com, megaparts.com, thepartsbin.com

I normally buy from bimmer since they almost always have a better price.

I'm sure it will be cheaper like: $40 and $60 (calculated guess)

Cheers,

Carlos.
