Anybody know how easy (to change myself) or how much a garage would want to change the hydraulic control master cylinder on a 1.6 petrol car? Lisa's pug has a bit of a leak and having cleaned round it this is where it appears to be weeping a little fluid from

Re: Hydraulic control master cylinder
If it is on the gearbox it won't have a cable ... Did you mean the feed pipe/hose?
That's the slave cylinder so is easier and cheaper to fit. Longest job will be bleeding the system to remove air.
Any chance you can post up a picture of the part?

Re: Hydraulic control master cylinder
Hi all. Having had a closer look at it today before it hammered down, I was wrong! the leak is coming from the power steering hose/switch, confirmed by the lack of fluid in the PS reservoir. You can't buy the switch separately so you have to purchase the hose too according to one garage I asked. Strangely Peugeot tell me different...
