Clutch master cylinder

[Phid]

I need a new one but based on experience with other cars some of the modern stuff is useless. Any recommendations for brands to go for or does anyone do reconditioned OEM?
Thanks

F A G clutch master cylinders are decent.

I’ve googled it but can’t find a supplier for FAG - any idea where to get them?

Looking at what is on Autodoc at the moment I can't see FAG listed either. Out of what is there ATE or LuK would be the best but I think you would be ok with Sachs, Brembo, and possibly Valeo, Febi or Metzger for more sensible money as they are all long-standing OEM manufacturers.

If you are looking on Autodoc, beginning of the week on the phone app is highest discount, arrives in about a week from Germany.

Thank you that is really helpful.
Just trying some reverse bleeding before giving up on the old one!

I noticed a bit of oil on the garage floor, had a look under the car and the side of the gearbox was wet so checked the reservoir which was empty so the slave must have been leaking for a while.
I had a look online and found a shop down south selling the clutch & master for £47.50 by febi so got them ordered and fitted a couple of weaks back. Pleased I ordered both in the end as the master had gone aswell but didn't realise until I took the knee panel off as the foam on the trim was catching the oil.

The febi parts fitted no problem but not surprised really, never had any issues using febi.

Wow - thank you!

I’ve had poor aftermarket parts in the past for other vehicles so like to use OEM for stuff like this.

However I’m not buying OEM at 5x the cost of Sachs, Brembo, etc.
