Help me identify this Brake Master Cylinder

Hi everyone,

My FC's Brake Master Cylinder is failing, and I can't seem to find the exact replacement for the one that came with my car...

Mine is a NA FC, 4pot Front Brakes, ABS, AAS, and vented discs.

Here you have a couple of pics of the unit itself









I already got two different new ones, but they don't match this one... got one from a S4 T2, and one from a S5 NA... no luck

Can any of you guys help me identify the one pictured?


Thanks in advance!

Try RockAuto.com; looks like they may have 4 to chose from: Wagner, A-1 Cardone, Cardone, and Raybestos.

Good luck.

Your car has an interesting array of features, being N/A but still having ABS. It sure does look like an S5 Turbo master cylinder to me. The outlets are in the correct location, and there are only two of them.

I thought ABS master cylinders had an opening on the bottom for the ABS pressure switch. I've never seen an FC with that shaped reservoir before...?

I thought all FC master cylinders were cast iron, that looks like aluminum.

What does the booster it came off of look like? You have a pic of that too?
Is there a stamp on the bottom of the cylinder like 15/16?

A pic of the brake booster would deffinity help, I'm thinking the PO might have done a booster / mc swap.
