How long will a brake master cylinder replacement take on my Volkswagen?
On average, brake master cylinder repair times can range from under 1 hour to 1.5 hours with an average of around 1 hours.

How often should I replace the brake master cylinder on my Volkswagen ?
The master cylinder has internal and external seals which can wear out over time. When the external seals are worn brake fluid can leak out and prevent the brakes from working correctly. Should the internal seal fail, the system will not create sufficient pressure in the hydraulic system, so replacing the master cylinder is imperative and with immediate effect as braking performance will deteriorate and it can potentially lead to dangerous situations on the road. In this instance, it is advisable that you do not drive the car but have the system checked over as soon as possible by a mechanic who can come to you.
