What's Included / Not Included
- Included: One front wheel cylinder.
- Not included: Brake shoes, hoses, bleeder cap, hardware springs or brake fluid.
Why It Matters
A leaking wheel cylinder soaks the brake shoes in fluid, causes pulling to one side, a soft pedal and eventually a loss of braking. Cylinders that sat in an old car also seize, so one shoe drags and overheats. ATE was an original-equipment brake supplier to VW, so this cylinder is OE quality. We also carry ATE, LPR and EMPI front cylinders for the same cars under other part numbers.
Installation Notes
- Replace wheel cylinders in pairs on the same axle.
- Replace any fluid-soaked brake shoes; they cannot be cleaned reliably.
- Inspect the flexible brake hoses and replace cracked or swollen ones.
- Bleed the brakes with fresh DOT 3/4 fluid after fitting and adjust the shoes.
- Test the brakes at low speed before driving normally.
- We do not publish torque values here; use the factory workshop manual for your vehicle.
