Hi everyone,
My master cylinder is on its way out as the brake pedal is slowly sinking to the floor under moderate pressure. I've bled the system and thats fine so I've convinced myself its the cylinder. I have an old car with 250,000km on the clock. With the engine off the pedal is firm but with engine on it creeps to the floor with pressure. Driving is OK as I never hammer it around. I still want a firm pedal though.
My question is: How do I find out which master cylinder to buy? I go to lots of online shops and they have 10 or more that supposdley fit my car. A4 B5 quattro 2.5 tdi AFB engine.
Is there a code that I have to read on the actual master cylinder first? Or will any of the choices online do?
Many thanks in avance.
