Beck/ArnleyClutch Slave Cylinder - 072-9255

Wasn't sure about it when I realized it was lightweight plastic. Ended up being great.

This is one of the only Metal replacement Slave Cylinders I have found for the Mk4 12v VR6 VW cars.Just installed today and it went in no problem. The only issue I real into that others have is that yes, The tip of the pushrod doesn't have the flat outer edge... But you don't need it... And that the clip has to be installed after you install your clutch hydraulic line.. Not hard to do, You just have to line it up and clip it..Once I got the old Slave cylinder off, Installing this new Metal slave and my new clutch line from ECS only took about ten minutes.My car now easily has the best Mk4 clutch pedal feel I have felt so far.Would absolutely buy again since its metal, I hope these ones are still being made because the Beck & Arnleys seem to be the only Metal replacements left.

Feels like a good quality part. My only gripe is that the bleeder valve is plastic and started to strip before I was done bleeding the system. If I have to bleed it again, it might strip entirely. Other than that a good part.

Worked for my 2003 jetta tdi.

Complete failure in less than 2 months. This was beyond the 30 day return window so no returns or replacement. Manufacturer states 1 year warranty but only if purchased from an authorized dealer and must be returned to dealer. Amazon is not an authorized dealer. Sold by and fulfilled by Amazon so I thought there would not be a problem. No more auto parts purchases from amazon. Bought a replacement from elsewhere.

Used to replace leaking plastic slave cylinder
