Substitute Master Cylinder and Reservoir for MK2 Jetta??

(1/1)

thomas m:
I can't seem to find a new or used brake fluid reservoir for my MK2 Jetta. The original reservoir is basically rectangular in shape; about 2 x 3 x 4 inches with the float equipped cap.

I've searched the forums, local parts shops, Ebay and Craigs List. No luck.

Is there any way to substitute a different master cylinder and reservoir to my brake system???

My parts guy pulled one up that is sort of round shaped??? We are going to take a look at it tomorrow.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

air-cooled or diesel:
try autohausaz, online(or call), or try partsplace,

Here's one from GermanAutoParts.com.

My local parts guy showed me the same reservoir for half the cost. Bartosh Import Parts in Vancouver, WA.

" New round reservoir also has an extra nipple that is sealed and not used"
That nipple butts up against the coolant overflow bottle somewhat.

Cardone has something that I am looking into and will report back.

My 1992 Cabriolet had the round style reservoir. It worked exactly the same as the rectangular one on my mk2 ;)
