6Q0721388G Volkswagen master cyl

This thing basically takes the force from your foot pressing the brake pedal and turns it into hydraulic pressure. It’s a pump, really. Inside, it has pistons and seals that move fluid – brake fluid – through the brake lines to all the wheels. It has two main sections, usually, for a dual – circuit system. That means there’s one for the front brakes and one for the rear, providing a backup in case one line fails. It’s the very first component in your braking system. Everything starts here. When you push the pedal, you’re not directly stopping the wheels. You're pushing on this cylinder which then sends the pressure down the lines to activate the brakes at each wheel. It's right up front in the whole process. It's incredibly important, obviously. Without a functioning master cylinder, you won’t have brakes. You’ll notice if it’s failing. A spongy or soft brake pedal is a big sign, or if the pedal slowly sinks to the floor when you’re holding pressure on it. Sometimes you’ll even get a leak, which is pretty obvious. It acts like a shield protecting the rest of the system. If it goes, everything downstream suffers. You can find a good replacement, often with pretty quick shipping, over at Fixparts Online if you need one. It's one of those parts where you really don’t want to cut corners; a reliable master cylinder is just vital for safety. Quality you can count on: Master Cylinder (MPN 6Q0721388G) comes with a 12-month warranty!
