Master brake cylinder is one of the components of the hydraulic brake system. It serves to create the necessary pressure. Usually the master brake cylinder is two-space and has two separate chambers. Therefore, in the vehicle there are two independent brake gear circuits. This is very important for safety. When you press the brake pedal, the piston drives. When you release the pedal, the piston and the spring reset.
In the two-space cylinder there are used two pistons: primary and secondary. If one of two pistons fails, the brakes efficiency will decrease, but it will be enough to stop the car. A sudden decrease of braking efficiency indicates a problem with the master brake cylinder. Since the brakes are very important for safety, you should immediately visit the service centre. It is possible that the cylinder leaks and needs replacement.
In any case it is necessary to go to the service centre to repair or to replace the cylinder. Master brake cylinder directly affects the safety. To avoid serious consequences it is better that non-specialists not do replace the part by themselves. After replacement check the functionality of the brake system. To replace the old brake cylinder, use only new master brake cylinder from a safe car parts maker. To avoid unnecessary risks, old brake cylinders are not used for replacement.
