   As above, I need to replace the master cylinder on my VTS which is running with 266mm Bosch front calipers from a 200 138BHP 206 GTi.
   
   Is the 206 master cylinder a different size to the standard VTS?

   Is yours knackered like?
   
   I would just stick to the standard 22mm M/C with 266s not much point in changing it if yours isnt broke. Could always tighten the pedal bar to servo to reduce the pedal slack.

   Yeah I'm pretty sure mines had it,
   
   I'm having to pump the pedal to get the pressure up.
   
   Can't see it being anything else because the rest off the system is in good condition and the fluid is fresh.
   
   Standard VTS replacement it is then I think.
