What is a brake master cylinder and what does it do?

The brake master cylinder is the heart of your vehicle's hydraulic braking system. When you press the brake pedal, it converts that mechanical force into hydraulic pressure, which then pushes brake fluid through the lines to activate the brakes at each wheel.

What other parts should I consider replacing when installing a new master cylinder?

When replacing the master cylinder, it's highly recommended to also inspect your brake lines for any signs of wear or damage. It's also essential to bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove any air and ensure proper brake fluid circulation.

Does this master cylinder come with brake fluid?

This DFC brake master cylinder does not include brake fluid. You will need to purchase the appropriate type of brake fluid for your Audi separately and add it after installation, then bleed the system.
