Master brake cylinder - with or without ABS
Yesterday out if the blue the clutch on my db went down to the ground to the point where I couldn't engage the clutch at all to put it in gear.
Got home, checked the clutch pedal area and noticed some greasiness. Popped the hood and the clutch reservoir was bone dry.
Based on my research this leads to replacing the MBC
So my question is this, do I get a non ABS or and ABS MBC
Why I ask is this, my db8 "has ABS" but i don't even think it works. When I first start the car and put my foot I'm the brake pedal I hear a buzzing from under the hood and after a few Mins it goes away... Have also had to brake really hard recently and noticed that if ABS was working... Tires wouldn't have locked up.
And based on my research I see people just taking it out but it looks like there are a few more parts needed to take it out properly.
Need to put a new MBC in ASAP but not sure about this ABS business.

Re: Master brake cylinder - with or without ABS
you need to replace the clutch master cylinder, not the brake master. abs has nothing to do with your clutch hydraulics.
