What are the symptoms of a failing brake master cylinder?

Common signs include a spongy or soft brake pedal that goes closer to the floor, a decrease in braking performance, or the vehicle pulling to one side when braking. You might also notice brake fluid leaks around the master cylinder itself.

Does this master cylinder come with brake fluid?

This part is the master cylinder unit only and does not include brake fluid. You will need to purchase the appropriate type of brake fluid separately and fill the reservoir after installation.

What is involved in installing a new brake master cylinder?

Installation typically involves removing the old master cylinder, bleeding the brake system to remove air, and installing the new unit. It's recommended to consult your vehicle's service manual for detailed instructions and to ensure proper brake system function.

Product Details

DFC is known for making reliable replacement parts that get your vehicle back on the road. This brake master cylinder is built to restore proper function to your Mercedes-Benz's braking system. It's a crucial component that converts the force from your brake pedal into hydraulic pressure, which then forces your brake pads against the rotors to slow your vehicle.

This master cylinder is designed to fit a wide range of Mercedes-Benz models from the late 1970s through the mid-1980s, including popular vehicles like the 240D, 300D, and 380SL. Replacing a faulty master cylinder is essential for maintaining consistent and safe braking performance. When yours starts to fail, you might notice a spongy brake pedal, or your car may pull to one side when you brake. This part aims to resolve those issues and bring your braking back to spec.

When installing a new master cylinder, it's important to bleed the brake system thoroughly to remove any air. This ensures that the hydraulic pressure is applied correctly and consistently. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for the specific procedure for your Mercedes-Benz.
