Porsche 993 C2 1995 - 1998
Diagram ref no 9
The brake master cylinder is a critical hydraulic component in your vehicle’s braking system. When you press the brake pedal, this device generates hydraulic pressure that is transmitted through the brake lines to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders at each wheel. This hydraulic pressure forces the brake pads or shoes against the rotors or drums, slowing and stopping the vehicle. A properly functioning master cylinder ensures:
• Consistent brake pedal feel and response
• Balanced hydraulic pressure to all wheels
• Safe, predictable braking performance under all conditions
The master cylinder contains internal pistons and seals that pressurise brake fluid when actuated by the pedal. This pressurised fluid is then routed through the brake lines to the brake calipers, activating the braking force at the wheels. Because it directly influences braking behaviour and safety, the master cylinder must maintain proper internal seals and robust construction to prevent leaks and loss of pressure.
Over time, original master cylinders can wear, develop seal leakage, or lose internal resistance, resulting in:
• Soft or spongy brake pedal feel
• Reduced braking effectiveness
• Brake fluid leaks Uneven pressure distribution.
Replacing worn or failing units restores optimum hydraulic pressure and prolongs the life of your brake system - maintaining the braking performance Porsche engineered for your 993.
Replace the master cylinder if you notice:
• Brake pedal that sinks toward the floor
• Spongy or inconsistent braking feel
• Visible brake fluid leakage from the master cylinder body
• Brake performance degradation
• During a full brake system overhaul
