Hello Holland
Thanks for your input. Since posting the question I was able to find the
old Corrado G60 MC and exterior wise it is identical to the S 16V one in my
car. The brake servo is also from the 16V so your statement that the cheap
stuff bolts gives me the warm and fuzzies.
I can only guess that the 16V MC includes the two proportioning valves that
screw on there to account for the extra $.
To warm up the thread a bit. The reason I want to replace it is that when
pressing the brake gently, maybe like you would do standing at a light, the
pedal would very slowly go to the floor. If you step on the pedal with even
moderate force it will lock and stay there forever. There is about 35 K on
the part. Interesting the Jjetta GLX clutch master cylinder did a similar
thing. Everything looked perfect inside, cups just worn enough so that it
would not hold gentle pressure.
This happen to anybody??

I cross referenced the MC's for a '91 Corrado G60, '95 Jetta GL, and an '87
Scirroco 16V, all w/o ABS, and the Corrado and Jetta MC's are the same, at
least as replacement parts. The Scirroco is different, probably because
it's an A1 based car (the outlets probably aren't in the same locations).
Now, VW uses different manufacturers for brake system parts on the same
models and years due to supply issues, so you may get different part numbers
for the same piece, even though they're actually interchangeable. An
interesting thing is that the MC's used on Jetta GLI 16V's, which came with
10.1" front brakes, as did the A3 4 cyl Jetta's, use different MC's. I
don't know if the GLI's had 19mm or 22mm MC's, but my guess is they had the
19mm part.
If the real question is will a Corrado or A3 Jetta MC fit on a 16V
GTI/Jetta, the answer is yes. Either one will work fine. I have a Corrado
MC on my '92 GTI 16V, and it bolted right up.
