1K1614019AF Audi CYLINDER

This part takes the pressure from your foot when you push the brake pedal and turns it into hydraulic pressure. It's basically a pump that sends brake fluid through the lines to the calipers at each wheel. It has reservoirs inside to hold the brake fluid, and pistons that move when you press the pedal, building up that pressure. Some have multiple pistons and chambers, especially on vehicles with more complex braking systems like those with ABS. Think of it as the very first step in stopping your car. When you push the pedal, it doesn’t directly engage the brakes at the wheels. It pushes on this master cylinder, which then sends the signal – the hydraulic pressure – to make those brakes work. It’s central to the whole braking system. Without a functioning master cylinder, you won't be able to stop, plain and simple. It’s pretty critical, honestly. If it starts to leak, or if the seals wear out, you’ll lose pressure and your brakes will feel spongy, or even fail completely. You’ll notice if it’s going bad because the pedal might sink to the floor slowly when you apply the brakes, or it might feel soft. It acts like a shield, protecting the rest of the braking system from failing. A bad master cylinder can damage other parts like calipers and wheel cylinders. You can find a good replacement at places like Fixparts Online if you’re looking to do this yourself. It’s one of those things you really don't want to mess around with, so if you’re not comfortable working on brakes, it’s best to have a professional take a look. Stand out from the crowd: Cylinder (MPN 1K1614019AF) comes with a 12-month warranty!
