16v
Brake servo and master cylinder upgrade
Upgrading the Servo and Master Cylinder. Applicable for both Mk1 and Mk2 Scirocco.
Parts Sources
Master Cylinder:
Not sure where mine came from, it was bought as new from a show, its got a Passat part number, but it’s unclear which model or year (Its dubious origin came back to bite me later though as it wasn’t an easy fit). You can get them from late mk2 (16v) and mk3 golfs, though these often have 2 outlets instead of 4.
Servo:
This came from a scrapped mk2 16v golf, it also came with master cylinder (2 oulet only) and an epansion tank that I needed.
Preparation.
This is an increadibly messy job. You’ll need tons of newspaper & rags for soaking up spilt brake fluid, and also a means of storing and disposing of about 1 litre of old brake fluid. If you’re cracking the fuel system on a K-jet engine for access, be prepared for all the mess that involves too (i.e. Rags and newspaper for petrol spills).
