gollfy1 10 Posted July 6, 2017 Hi all, my clutch master cylinder is on the way out, ordered a new one which has arrived. The existing one has a connection for the clutch fluid and one for the bleed nipple. The one that has turned up has them plus a white plastic connection?? Any ideas if this is needed? Can provide pics if required Cheers Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STU175 0 Posted July 6, 2017 The picture is exactly the same as the one i have fitted to my non abs 1991 g60. The threaded hole goes the to clutch slave cylinder the white connector goes to the brake reservoir... Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STU175 0 Posted July 6, 2017 If the one on your car doesnt have white connector how does it connect to the brake reservoir? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted July 6, 2017 Does your existing line from brake res have a similar looking connector on it? It might be that you can pull the white bit out? Does it sit in a rubber bung? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gollfy1 10 Posted July 6, 2017 I have the coiled up metal pipe (fluid pipe) which i presume screws into the bung part of the new cylinder and obviously you have the bleed nipple. I do not have anything that resembles the white plastic pipe on my old one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gollfy1 10 Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) Current one with 2 connections (fluid/nipple) https://ibb.co/meGN9a New One with 3 connections (fluid/nipple/plastic white bit????) https://ibb.co/cRWYFF Edited July 6, 2017 by gollfy1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted July 6, 2017 Your current pic is the slave cylinder and the new part is a master Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaos3oe 0 Posted July 6, 2017 It looks like you have mixed up the master and slave. The one on the gearbox is the slave, looks like you have bought a master which is the pedal end. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gollfy1 10 Posted July 6, 2017 doh:( my school boy error then..lol Going to hide with embarrassment Thanks for your help Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rado87 10 Posted July 6, 2017 I done exactly the same thing on my VR! I even messaged the seller on eBay saying they'd sent the wrong part! I soon swallowed my pride and proceeded to order the correct part. At least I have a master for future use! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 32 Posted July 6, 2017 If you are having problems with a leaking slave and replace it, you will inevitably end up doing the master a few months later as the increased pressure will cause the seals on that to fail, so no harm done by having one handy. I've ended up usually replacing both at the same time to be sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted July 6, 2017 What's wrong with your clutch? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gollfy1 10 Posted July 6, 2017 Clutch stopping on the floor occasionally, have bled it but still occurring. Also when at traffic lights after a while clutch releases without pedal being raised:( so have to hit the brake and panic...lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also when at traffic lights after a while clutch releases without pedal being raised:( so have to hit the brake and panic...lol If the clutch is releasing with the pedal on the floor and there are no external leaks its likely to be the master. When mine occasionally stuck to the floor eventually the slave let go leaving a puddle of fluid beneath the car when parked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 32 Posted July 6, 2017 What can happen with the slave is that the protective boot around the actuating rod can split, which means it will weep around the internal piston seal very slightly and into the bell housing. This can cause the clutch symptoms above and a very gradual loss of fluid without leaking out on to the ground completely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It states this is only for Lhd! I only ask because I'm looking to buy one at the moment and looked at the Heritage one but it states in the reviews cannot be used on RHD version. If someone can confirm they have fitted this happy days :-) Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
