VW e-up! Rear Wheel Cylinder
This VW e-up! rear wheel cylinder is the small hydraulic cylinder in the rear drum brake that pushes the brake shoes out against the drum when you press the brake pedal. Like the rest of the brake system it relies on clean fluid and good seals, and rarely used drum brakes are prone to sticking pistons. A leaking or seized cylinder causes uneven braking or fluid on the drum.

Signs Your Rear Wheel Cylinder Needs Replacing
Signs of a failing wheel cylinder include brake fluid inside the drum or on the tyre wall, a soft or sinking brake pedal, a rear brake that drags and an MOT failure on brake imbalance. Fluid-soaked brake shoes must be replaced as well. Catching these signs early usually means a simpler and cheaper repair. Electric cars are heavy and very quiet, so worn parts are often noticed sooner than on a petrol car.
Fitment
It fits the VW e-up! and e-load up!, SEAT Mii Electric, and Skoda Citigo-e iV. Across the range, it covers versions from 20 kW to 61 kW. Fitting position: rear axle left and rear axle right. If you are not sure which version you have, your V5C logbook and the part number on your existing part will help you match it.

Fitting Advice
The brakes must be bled afterwards. Bleed the brakes after fitting and replace the brake shoes if they are contaminated with fluid. Check the brake shoes and drum while the wheel cylinder is being replaced. Use fresh brake fluid of the type the car maker specifies. Using the correct replacement part keeps your car working as its maker intended.
