Troubleshooting

Brake fluid leak from the wheel cylinder

The seals within the wheel cylinder have failed. The wheel cylinder needs to be replaced immediately.

Reduced braking power on rear axle

Check for leaks at the wheel cylinder. If none, inspect brake shoes, drum, and brake lines. The wheel cylinder may be internally damaged or seized.

Spongy brake pedal after installation

The brake system was not bled properly after installation. Re-bleed the brake system to remove all air.

Brake drum difficult to remove or install

Ensure the wheel cylinder pistons are fully retracted. If not, there may be an issue with the brake shoes or the cylinder itself. Check for seized components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Installation of a wheel cylinder is part of a brake system repair and should ideally be performed by a qualified mechanic. The process typically involves:

  1. Safely lifting and securing the vehicle.
  2. Removing the wheel and brake drum.
  3. Disconnecting brake lines and carefully removing the old wheel cylinder.
  4. Installing the new JP GROUP/LPR Wheel Cylinder, ensuring seals are properly seated.
  5. Reconnecting brake lines.
  6. Bleeding the brake system thoroughly to remove air.
  7. Reinstalling the brake drum and wheel.

Compatibility:

  • Crucial Step: Always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle before purchasing. Check that your vehicle is listed within the compatible models (VW Golf, Scirocco, Polo, Audi 80, A2, 100, Skoda Citigo, etc.).
  • Brake System: This cylinder is for vehicles with drum brakes on the rear axle.
  • ABS/Regulators: It can be used in systems with or without ABS and with brake force regulators.
  • VIN and PR Numbers: For definitive confirmation, consult your vehicle's VIN range and PR numbers against the manufacturer's specifications or a parts specialist.
  • Cross-References: Compare with part numbers like 171698051A, 309611051, and 331698053.

Care:

Wheel cylinders are sealed components and do not require routine user maintenance. However, regular brake system inspections are recommended. Keep the area around the brake components clean during installation. If brake fluid leaks are observed around the wheel cylinder, it indicates a seal failure and requires immediate replacement.
