182 Brake Master Cylinder

[Munday]

Good afternoon all,

My brake master cylinder has failed and I'm having difficulty sourcing a new one. I've been in contact with some genuine part's suppliers and they can't get one any anymore (part number 7701207754) so I'm a bit stuck (car is off the road now).

It looks like my options are either a repair kit or a pattern part. Can anyone recommend a pattern part which will do the job?
Thanks in advance!

There is different versions of it so just make sure you get this one.


Make - TEVES
Pt No - 7701207754
RRP - £136.18+vat

Im guessing you could get anyone from a 172/182 providing its a TEVES unit and not a BENDIX or BOSCH

Thanks Marc. I went and checked my current MC (got a couple of photos) and it's definitely the short TEVES unit. Just emailed Renault Parts Direct, hopefully they can source one for me as I don't live anywhere near a Renault dealership.

Not looking forward to changing it, looks like a pig of a job!!!

I had to change mine a couple of years ago but I managed to get a new one from Renault at that point.
Teves is actually owned by Continental

• Continental Teves, part of Continental AG of Germany

As above @JB21 has one there, just check and make sure the markings are the same and you are good to go.

Wasn't able to get a new one in the end, had to get a second hand unit.

I've swapped it over (what a horrible job!) and have also noticed a leak around the rear offside brake caliper. Yet to bleed the brakes but pedal goes to the floor and never goes hard so I think I have a more serious issue somewhere or just a sh*t load of air in the system.
