Lee1873 0 Posted July 21, 2007 hey folks, 1st post here so go easy, ive recently bought a 95 16v corrado & am having an absolute mare trying to get the right master cylinder for the car, my brakes are seriously spongy & it needs changing as a matter of urgency, trouble is i cant find the right one to fit my car, went to the motor factors 1st as you do & was given a master cyl. for a 95 corrado 16v, gets home & goes to check the cylinder currently on the car to ensure the right part was supplied, clearly it wasnt, so after another 30 mins or so & 1/2 a dozen hydraulic part books come to conclusion is defo the right part for the car as listed in every book, so...off to the dealers i trot, master cylinder for a corrado please 95 16v, no problem sir that will be here for you tommorow, gets home with the dealer supplied part & again goes under bonnet to check if its a fit this time & again no joy, anyone had this bother with there M.C.? mines seems to have the brake lines running to it underneath rather than top left or right & it bolts to the servo @ an angle instead of from what i can make out horizontally if anyone can understand what i mean could anyone take a pic of there M.C. in situ if they have a 2.016v or point me in the direction of a pic of 1 close up? cheers Lee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60bv 0 Posted July 22, 2007 welcome to the forum lee. get some pics on here and we'll be able to help out quicker. does the car have abs.? if not a 22mm mc -should- be the one. from euro car parts under £40 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1873 0 Posted July 22, 2007 Cheers mate, yep car does have abs unfortunately, im gonna go out today & see if i can find a part no. on the M.C. as ive now been supplied 2 identical 1s which are meant to fit my car which clearly wont without some major brake pipe surgery, ive got a sinking feeling somebody has fitted the wrong servo or M.C. to my car which in itself wont be too bad as long as i can find a part no. on it without removing it from the car(its my only mode of transport just now) cheers Lee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted July 22, 2007 Lee - what are the part numbers of the bits you have tried... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1873 0 Posted July 22, 2007 Right then managed to get a better look @ the M.C. on my car today which i think has proved successful(touches wood) I "think" the part no. for the 1 fitted to my car is as follows...358 611 019 D...the 1 i was supplied via both the dealer & an independant motor factor has this vw part no.....357 611 019 B...........now its still might not be correct but im just guessing by looking @ the illustrations in a "certain parts suite" & comparing how my M.C. physically looks.......dont know how/why mines would be different to the norm would love if somebody could enlighten me fingers well & truly crossed cheers Lee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted July 23, 2007 Yep, the D part is the 23.81mm MC for RHD cars with the ATE ABS system... And the B part is the 22mm master cyl for all non ABS cars Go and shout at the dealer! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1873 0 Posted July 24, 2007 F**k Me! they want over £200+vat @ the dealer for the correct master cylinder for my car & i cant find 1 anywhere else, anyone got any ideas? cheers Lee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted July 24, 2007 Hmm thats not right either - should be about £150 inc VAt - try GPC or maybe a brake/abs specialist... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
