James_VW Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I can only find plastic clutch Slave cylinders for the GTI? Is there any other options from other vehicles to use? Reason I would like to change is I don't like the plastic bleeder valve and i feel plastic is cheaper and not as durable as metal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James_VW Posted April 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 The plastic bleeder is knackered and is being a pain to bleed. I would rather replace it as doing clutch and gearbox as well so would rather do it all in one go then 'maybe' failing few thousands miles later...

Rich Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 the only difference if any will be the length of the actuation rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
