Which Master Cylinder?

I bought mine from Bug City in Ct.  They had several to choose from,  Brazilian , German and the knock-off from you know where.  I bought the Vargus from Brazil and it's been working fine for me.  Not a fun job if you're over 2 feet tall. Luck

One should never scrimp on brake parts.   You could buy Empi, but I wouldn't.

There are several different VW years and master cylinders that lend themselves to what you want.

If you call Bug City in Connecticut (1-888-BUGCITY (1-888-284-2489)) you'll get a real human being on the phone who knows what he/she is talking about.  Tell them what you have for a brake set-up and they'll recommend the best Master cylinder for that application.  You can then decide Chinese ($)   , Brazilian ($$)  or German ($$$$) and you'll have it in 2-3 days.

Gordon, even if one has no clue what year the cylinder currently used in a VS? Or, is it better to take the unit to the phone when calling and try to give them a description of the current unit? 

Call Bug City and ask for Dave.

Personally i only use Ate or FTE masters.

Get a dual circuit master. And if you're car is single circuit, then convert it to dual.

I have to add that TRW are a good 3rd place.
