6Q0611053B Volkswagen wheel brak

This little guy takes the hydraulic pressure from your master cylinder—that’s what you push when you hit the brake pedal—and uses it to push the brake shoes or pads against the brake drum or rotor. Basically, it translates the force from your foot into stopping power at each wheel. It's a hydraulic piston inside a cylinder; fluid pressure moves the piston, and that movement directly applies the brakes. It's part of your vehicle’s hydraulic braking system, and you’ve got one at each wheel. Think of the master cylinder as the starting point, sending pressure down the lines, and the slave cylinders as the endpoints, doing the actual work of stopping the car. Without them, pressing the brake pedal just wouldn’t do much of anything. It’s a critical component in how your brakes function. It’s really important because if this starts to leak or fail, you’ll lose braking power at that wheel. You’ll notice if one isn’t working right – pulling to one side when you brake is a common sign, or a soft, spongy brake pedal. It acts like a shield, protecting you from not being able to stop. They can corrode over time, especially if you drive in areas with a lot of road salt, so it’s something you want to stay on top of. We carry a good range of these at Fixparts Online, and generally replacing them in pairs is a smart idea to ensure even braking.
