h6 vwc 0 Posted October 13, 2010 Hi all, since doin my conversion i've had an awful brake pedal feel, very spongey with long travel....i fitted 288's and bled the system but to no avail. Then i searched hereand read last nite to also bleed the nipples on the master cylinder and abs pump. Wen i looked a few mins ago the nipple on the M.C has snapped off!! So im tryna source 1 and swap em. I was just wondering how difficult and whats involved in actually changing it? E.g......2 bolts 20 min job or an all day nightmare? I hant had a look yet so would appreciate a pointer.....thanks all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emkayvr6 0 Posted October 17, 2010 Master cylinder is easy to swap, gettin hold of one might be a lot harder if its the ABS one, had to replace mine on the vr about a year ago and and could not find a pattern part one, loads of places told me they had one but kept supplyin me with a non abs one, i.e the one with 4 outlets, the ABS one only has 2, in the end went to VW and they're was only 4 left in the country and i was told they were goin to be obsolete when they had gone. It is just undo the two brake lines and the two bolts, swap over the part then bleed the whole system, as far as i remember Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
